Tokyo Favorites: 334 reviews and 407 photos
Favorite thing: Most often you will hear of places referred to as being close to a train station.
Favorite thing: In a city as large as Tokyo it is impossible to think of it as a whole and so the city is commonly broken down into different neighborhoods.
Favorite thing: Nowadays the heart of this city is most often though of as being the Imperial Palace and its surrounding grounds. This is home to the Emperor of Japan and the location of Edo Castle. The castle associated with the founding of Tokyo.
Favorite thing: At that time, the old name of Tokyo City was replaced with Tokyo-to or Tokyo Metropolis and it was designated as a special administrative unit similar to a prefecture, the largest unit of local government in Japan.
Favorite thing: Originally the city occupied an area of approximately 250 square miles but in 1943, the name Tokyo City was abolished in a government reorganization.
Favorite thing: Tokyo has no center, instead it is made up of twenty-six different cities, seven towns, and eight villages.
Favorite thing: This city may be crowded enough to make New York seem like a quiet city, but its crime rate is lower than any other city in the world. In Tokyo crime is something that the average person rarely has to think about.
Favorite thing: Yet walking amongst these people you will always carry with you a feeling of being safe.
Favorite thing: Sometimes you will find Japanese frightened of you, after all, if you leave the city and go out into the country it is still possible to find people, especially young children ,who have never met a foreigner in person.
Favorite thing: Living in Tokyo, you will always be considered as an outsider, but in almost every case you will be warmly accepted and treated with courtesy and respect.
