Tokyo has been the capital of Japan since 1868 and before was Kyoto . Tokyo is the world's largest city. Tokyo extends over 2,000 square kilometres and contains 23 different wards.
Tokyo is a thriving metropolis. It contains 23 city wards. Yet, Tokyo is not a single city. While staying inside the boundaries of Tokyo a Japanese tourist can visit 26 cities, 5 towns, and 8 villages.
Tokyo bears little resemblance to the typical Japanese “to.” The 12 million residents of Tokyo do not all live on a single section of the Japanese mainland. While most of Tokyo is found on Honshu, the main island of Japan , some of Tokyo 's residents live on islands that lie south of Honshu .
The large majority of the residents of Tokyo do live in the center of the “to.” Tokyo 's 23 city wards make up the center of Tokyo . Those 23 wards deliver the perks and problems of urban living to 8 million residents. Many of the most-visited locations in Tokyo are also found in those 23 wards.
Although a tourist does not need to know Japanese in order to visit Tokyo , an introduction to Tokyo should include mention of a few Japanese words. The visitor to Japan should become familiar with the terms “ken” and “to.”
A “ken” is one of the 47 prefectures in Japan . Each section of Japan lies inside one of those 47 prefectures. Because Tokyo is so large, it covers the area of an entire prefecture. Still, Japanese do not refer to Tokyo as a “ken.”
When Japanese talk about Tokyo , they refer to it as a “to.” Japanese use the term “to” whenever they want to make reference to a metropolis.
Akasaka is the upmarket district. Akihabara is home to numerous electronics shops. Asakusa is the place for temples. Ginza is the main shopping area.
