Tokyo Travel Guide - Japan Description
Tokyo is the capital of Japan and is one of the 47 prefectures. It is renowned for being the biggest metropolitan area in the world. The Japanese Royal Family also lives here which just goes to show how important Tokyo is. Indeed, Tokyo is classed as one of the three giants in the world economy, with London and New York City.Interestingly, Tokyo used to be just a small fishing village, with its original name Edo meaning 'estuary', so it is obviously on the water. The surrounding area is quite flat. It is situated on the island of Honshu and the name changed to Tokyo in the mid nineteenth century since this word stands for 'capital'. These days though, Tokyo is probably best known for its dense population, and everywhere seems to be extremely crowded.
