Tokyo is the capital and the largest city of Japan. The government, the Tokugawa Bakufu, moved to Tokyo (then called Edo) in the year 1603. With the Meiji Restoration of 1868, also the emperor moved to Tokyo, and the city became the Japanese capital.
The actual city of Tokyo consists of 23 wards (Shinjuku-ku, Minato-ku, Shibuya-ku, etc.). About eight million people live in the 23 ward Tokyo.
The prefecture Tokyo includes, besides the actual city, many other smaller cities and villages. The suburb area extends far into the neighbouring prefectures. Therefore, depending on the counting method, Tokyo may have a population of up to 30 million people. Please visit the Tokyo pages in our Photo Gallery. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
