Tokyo, officially theTokyo Metropolis is thecapital andmost populous city ofJapan. With a population of over 14 million in thecity proper in 2023, it isone of the most populous urban areas in the world. TheGreater Tokyo Area, which includes Tokyo and parts of six neighboringprefectures, is the most populous metropolitan area in the world, with 41 million residents as of 2024^[update].

Lying at the head ofTokyo Bay, Tokyo is part of theKantō region, on the central coast ofHonshu, Japan's largest island. It is Japan's economic center and the seat of theJapanese government and theEmperor of Japan. TheTokyo Metropolitan Government administers Tokyo's central23 special wards, which formerly made upTokyo City; various commuter towns and suburbs inits western area; and two outlying island chains, theTokyo Islands. Although most of the world recognizes Tokyo as a city, since 1943 its governing structure has been more akin to that of a prefecture, with an accompanyingGovernor andAssembly taking precedence over the smaller municipal governments that make up the metropolis. Special wards in Tokyo includeChiyoda, the site of theNational Diet Building and theTokyo Imperial Palace;Shinjuku, the city's administrative center; andShibuya, a hub of commerce and business.

Tokyo, originally known asEdo, rose to political prominence in 1603 when it became the seat of theTokugawa shogunate, and by the mid-18th century, Edo had evolved from a small fishing village into one of the largest cities in the world, with a population surpassing one million. After theMeiji Restoration (1868), the imperial capital inKyoto was moved to Edo, and the city was renamed Tokyo (lit. 'Eastern Capital'). Tokyo was greatly damaged by the 1923Great Kantō earthquake and byallied bombing raids duringWorld War II. Beginning in the late 1940s, Tokyo underwent rapid reconstruction and expansion, which fueled theJapanese economic miracle, in whichJapan's economy became thesecond-largest in the world at the time, behindthat of the United States. As of 2025^[update], Tokyo is home to 26 of the world's 500 largest companies, as listed in the annualFortune Global 500. (Full article...)

Edo (Japanese:江戸,lit. 'bay-entrance" or "estuary'), alsoromanized asJedo,Yedo orYeddo, is theformer name ofTokyo.

Under the Tokugawa shogunate, Edo developed into a major early-modern urban centre with a population that is believed to have exceeded 1 million by the early 18th century — making it, by many estimates, the largest city in the world at the time. (Full article...)
