If you’re worried about keeping up at Sunday’s Tokyo Trans March, look for staff holding a trans-colour banner at the meeting point. Organisers have set aside a spot near the front of the procession for people who need to walk more slowly. The guide they published on 13 November also says staff will walk with the march and wear armbands so people can find them.

The march is on 15 November. The organisers list a 1pm gathering at Shinjuku Central Park or a nearby park. The march is due to set off near Tsunohazu Bridge at 1.30pm, then return to the north side of Shinjuku Central Park. Check the organisers’ site for changes to the meeting point. The free festival runs from 11am to 5pm at FUN MORE TIME Plaza, formerly Water Plaza. You can go to the festival, walk in the march or do both. All times are local.

The organisers say you can join without being out. Ask someone’s permission before photographing them or posting an image in which they can be identified. The park also publishes directions from Tochomae Station for people using wheelchairs or bringing pushchairs.
