Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the most populous metropolis in the world. It is also one of 47 prefectures in Japan, consisting of 23 city wards and several cities, towns and villages west of downtown. Tokyo also comprises the Izu and Ogasawara Islands.

Tokyo was known as Edo as early as 1868. A tiny castle town in the 16th century, when Tokugawa Ieyasu established his feudal government there, Edo became the political center of Japan in 1603. A couple of decades later, Edo had become one of the most populous cities in the world. The emperor and capital moved from Kyoto to Edo, which was called Tokyo, with the Meiji Restoration of 1868.

Tourism:

Tourism in Tokyo is also a contributor to the economy.

Tokyo Tower:  In the Shiba-koen neighborhood of Minato, Tokyo, Japan, Tokyo Tower is a communications and observation tower. It is the second-highest building in Japan at 332.9 metres. The structure is a white and multinational orange lattice tower inspired by the Eiffel Tower to comply with air safety regulations.

Tokyo Skytree: Tokyo Skytree is a tower in Sumida, Tokyo, for broadcasting and observation. It became Japan's highest building in 2010 and reached its full height of 634.0 meters (2.080 ft) in March 2011, making it the world's highest tower, pushing the Canton Tower and the world's second highest after the Burj Khalifa (829.8 m/2.722 ft).

Ginza: Ginza, one of the top shopping districts in the region, is packed with upmarket boutiques, ritzy cocktail bars and sushi bars. In the Wako Honkan department store in the 1930s, fine jewelry is offered, while the ultra-modern Ginza Place is concentrated in high-tech electronics. Over weekends, Chuo Dori's main drag becomes an elegant pedestrian stroll. At the iconic Kabuki-za Theater, traditional Japanese dance and drama are performed

The museum collects, preserves, and displays a comprehensive collection of artwork and cultural objects from Asia, with a focus on ancient and medieval Japanese art and Asian art along the Silk Road.

National Treasure: A National Treasure is the most precious of Japan's Tangible Cultural Properties, as determined and designated by the Agency for Cultural Affairs (a special body of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology). A Tangible Cultural Property is considered to be of historic or artistic value, classified either as "buildings and structures" or as "fine arts and crafts." Each National Treasure must show outstanding workmanship, a high value for world cultural history, or exceptional value for scholarship.

Tsukiji Market: The Tsukiji Market supervised by the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market of the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Industrial and Labor Affairs, was the largest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world. It was also one of the largest wholesale food markets of any kind.

Architecture: Architecture in Tokyo has largely been shaped by Tokyo's history. Tokyo features many internationally famous forms of modern architecture including Tokyo International Forum, Asahi Beer Hall, Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower, NTT Docomo Yoyogi Building and Rainbow Bridge. Tokyo also features two distinctive towers: Tokyo Tower, and the new Tokyo Skytree, which is the tallest tower in both Japan and the world, and the second tallest structure in the world after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Tokyo also contains numerous parks and gardens. There are four national parks in Tokyo Prefecture, including the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, which includes all of the Izu Islands.

Transportation: Tokyo, as the centre of the Greater Tokyo Area, is Japan's largest domestic and international hub for rail and ground. Public transportation within Tokyo is dominated by an extensive network of clean and efficient trains and subways run by a variety of operators, with buses, monorails and trams playing a secondary feeder role.
