Tokyo Japan Metropolis, is the capital of Japan and one of its 47 prefectures. The Greater Tokyo Area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world.
It is the seat of the Emperor of Japan and the Japanese government.

Tokyo is in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands.Formerly known as Edo, it has been the de facto seat of government since 1603 when Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu made the city his headquarters.

The metropolitan government also administers 39 municipalities in the western part of the prefecture and the two outlying island chains.
The population of the special wards is over 9 million people, with the total population of the prefecture exceeding 13 million.
