Tokyo

Discussion on defining district borders for Tokyo is in progress. If you know the city pretty well, please share your opinion on the talk page.

Tokyo is a huge city with several district articles containing sightseeing, restaurant, nightlife and accommodation listings — have a look at each of them.

Tōkyō (東京) is the capital of Japan. At over 13 million people in the official metropolitan area alone, Tokyo is the core of the most populated urban area in the world, Tokyo Metropolis (which has a population of over 37 million people). This huge, wealthy and fascinating metropolis brings high-tech visions of the future side by side with glimpses of old Japan, and has something for everyone.

Districts Edit

The geography of central Tokyo is defined by the JR Yamanote Line (see Get around ). The center of Tokyo — the former area reserved for the Shogun and his samurai — lies within the loop, while the Edo-era downtown (下町 shitamachi ) is to the north and east. Sprawling around in all directions and blending in seamlessly are Yokohama. Kawasaki and Chiba. Tokyo's suburbs.
