One
of
the
most
populous
cities
in
the
world.
A
thriving
center
of
economy,
culture
and
industry. |

 Tokyo
consists
of
the
southwestern
part
of
the
Kanto
Region,
the
Izu
Islands,
and
the
Ogasawara
islands.
The
population
is
one
of
the
largest
in
the
world.
It
is
the
Capital
of
Japan
where
over
11
million
people
live.
Since
Shogun
Tokugawa
Ieyasu
established
a
government
in
the
early
17th
century,
the
town
started
to
develop,
spreading
around
his
resident
Edo
Castle.
Although
most
of
the
city
was
devastated
by
the
Great
Earthquake
of
1923
and
again
by
the
bombing
in
the
WWII,
it
achieved
rapid
restoration
both
times. |

Tokyo
is
not
only
the
center
of
politics
and
economy
of
Japan,
but
also
developed
as
the
center
of
world
economy
and
culture,
and
it
offers
a
number
of
must-see
places.
There
are
large
scale
downtown
areas
including
the
Ginza
where
all
famous
shops
around
the
world
stand
side
by
side,
Shijuku
high-rise
complex
and
its
surroundings
that
never
sleep,
Asakusa
with
reminiscences
of
the
traditional
Edo(former
name
of
Tokyo),
and
Shibuya
that
starts
the
trend
for
the
young
people
as
well
as
unique
areas
including
the
computer
town
Akihabara
where
electric
shops
are
densely
competing
and
attracting
many
shoppers
from
Japan
and
overseas
and
the
Tsukiji
open-air
wholesale
food
market
that
serves
all
consumers
in
Japan. |
