Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō) is Japans capital and the worlds most populous metropolis.
It is also one of Japans 47 prefectures, consisting of 23 central city wards and multiple cities, towns and villages west of the city center.
The Izu and Ogasawara Islands are also part of Tokyo.Prior to 1868, Tokyo was known as Edo.
A small castle town in the 16th century, Edo became Japans political center in 1603 when Tokugawa Ieyasu established his feudal government there.
A few decades later, Edo had grown into one of the worlds most populous cities.
With the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the emperor and capital moved from Kyoto to Edo, which was renamed Tokyo ("Eastern Capital").
Large parts of Tokyo were destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and in the air raids of 1945.Today, Tokyo offers a seemingly unlimited choice of shopping, entertainment, culture and dining to its visitors.
The citys history can be appreciated in districts such as Asakusa and in many excellent museums, historic temples and gardens.
Contrary to common perception, Tokyo also offers a number of attractive green spaces in the city center and within relatively short train rides at its outskirts.
