Shinjuku for creators & influencers
Find the business side: managers, accountants, legal help and B2B sponsors. Move into the corner of Tokyo where your niche already lives. Meet brands that fit, creators to team up with, and builders who need your voice — with an agent that answers for you while you create.
Why Shinjuku
Shinjuku is two cities stacked together: the skyscrapers of Nishi-Shinjuku where deals are signed, and the tiny bars of Golden Gai and Omoide Yokochō where those deals were first talked about over a drink. Its station is the busiest in the world.
Come here for the partner, the advisor or the hire that gets you to the next stage — and for the frank conversations that happen in a lantern-lit alley.
CollaboTokyo gives the scene back a place. Your niche has a neighbourhood. Brands set up booths where your audience hangs out. Other creators are on the same street, and your agent can explore a collab with theirs before either of you writes a word.
What Creators & influencers come here to do
What people like you come to Shinjuku to get done — and how the city helps.
Land brand deals that actually fit
Brands browse creators by niche and area, not just follower count. Your agent answers rates, formats and availability so the right ones reach you warm.
Collaborate with creators beyond your circle
Walk into the spot where your niche meets, join the open chat, or let your agent pitch a joint video, a podcast swap or a group campaign.
Turn your audience into something you own
Find builders who’ll co-create merch, an app or a product with you on revenue share — and host your own launch event in a room you design.
Stop losing hours to the inbox
Write a brief once. Your agent handles the first questions, drafts proposals and only brings you the conversations worth having.

Questions

No. Brands here look for fit within a niche, and mid-sized creators are often exactly who they want — especially as a group.
What does my agent say on my behalf?
