Tokyo
Tokyo is Japan's capital and the center of its politics, economy, and culture. With about 14 million residents it is the country's most populous prefecture and one of the world's great metropolises. Bustling districts like Shinjuku and Shibuya, historic sites such as the Imperial Palace and Asakusa, and its role as a trendsetter draw people from Japan and abroad.
