ABOUT US
We are here,
living together.
Tokyo Trans March is a festival and march working for trans visibility, the restoration of rights, and a society where everyone can live safely as themselves.
Trans people who have lived—or tried to live—with pride throughout the year come together with family, friends, and allies. We create a place where diverse people can meet, connect, and celebrate one another’s existence.
OUR VISION 2026
It does not mean that
the world is already beautiful.
We want the march itself to create a “Beautiful World,” and to tell trans people living with hardship or loneliness—and everyone facing difficulties—that this world may still be worth believing in.
Our circumstances and fears may differ, but none of us is alone. By connecting and supporting one another, we will nurture a future where everyone can live safely.
