Tokyo (Tokyo Metropolis) is one of Japan’s 47 prefectures and the most populated. It is located on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands.
Tokyo (previously known as Edo before 1868 - Meiji Restoration) is home to the Japanese government, imperial castle and family, bright lights, clean subway stations, vending machines, walking advertisements and punctilious transport schedules. Echoes of cherry blossom picnics caught in the wind forever linger around its twelve million residents, along with rugged mountains to the west and subtropical islands to the south, and did we mention fashion, fashion, and more fashion - where kimonos and jeans sit side by side during rush hour.
The capital of Japan consists of 23 city wards (ku), 26 cities, 5 towns and 8 villages - a truly high-tech savvy metropolis with glimpses of old Japan in every ku. Whatever you enjoy doing, whether it be shopping or sightseeing both the modern and traditional, Tokyo has something for everyone!
