TOKYO
Tokyo (東京 Tōkyō?, "Eastern
Capital"), English:; officially Tokyo Metropolis (東京都 Tōkyō-to?),[3] is one of the 47 prefectures of
Japan. Tokyo is the capital of Japan, the center of the Greater Tokyo Area, and
the largest metropolitan area of Japan. It is the seat of the Japanese
government and the Imperial Palace, and the home of the Japanese Imperial
Family. Tokyo is located in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the
main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands.[4] Tokyo
Metropolis was formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府 Tōkyō-fu?) and the city of
Tokyo (東京市 Tōkyō-shi?).
The Tokyo Metropolitan government administers the
twenty-three special wards of Tokyo (each governed as a city), which cover the
area that was the city of Tokyo, as well as 39 municipalities in the western
part of the prefecture and the two outlying island chains.
