Facts about tokyo.

Tokyo is a vast metropolis, and it would take more than a lifetime to properly get to know it. Here is a collection of basic facts about Tokyo for a 5-minute overview of Japan's capital city.

Unless otherwise stated, all statistics are as of 2015.

Tokyo is the capital city of Japan, and the biggest city in Japan in terms of population and area. Tokyo is located roughly in the middle of the Japanese archipelago facing the Pacific Ocean. Tokyo is on the Kanto plain, bordering Tokyo Bay, 35 degrees 41 minutes north latitude and 139 degrees 46 minutes east longitude.

The Tokyo Megalopolis Region , or Greater Tokyo Area (Shutoen 首都圏), comprises Tokyo and the three adjacent prefectures of Chiba , Saitama , and Kanagawa . The Tokyo region contains about 26% of Japan's total population. Another definition of "Shutoen" is, in English, the National Capital Region and comprises Tokyo and seven surrounding prefectures: Chiba, Saitama, Kanagawa, Gunma, Tochigi, Yamanashi, and Ibaraki.

Two major rivers flow through Tokyo: the Sumida River , running north-to-south into Tokyo Bay, and the Tama River, running west-to-east, and forming the border between Tokyo and Kawasaki. The other major rivers are the Edo, Arakawa, and Kanda rivers.

Tokyo has a total land area of 2187.42 square km (about 845 square miles) and is home to about 10% of the population of Japan. Including the neighboring prefectures of Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa, the Tokyo conurbation has a total population of over 37 million inhabitants, one of the largest population agglomerations in the world.

Tokyo climate and weather

Tokyo has an average temperature of about 16.5 degrees Celsius (62 degrees F), an average minimum temperature of about 13 degrees Celsius (55 degrees F), and an average maximum temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees F). Average humidity is about 60%.

January and February are the coldest months in Tokyo with an average of 5 degrees Celsius (41 degrees F) and average humidity of 44%. January is the sunniest month, with an average of 55% sunshine hours.

Summer in Tokyo is sweltering: very hot and humid. July is the hottest month in Tokyo with an average of about 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees F) and average humidity of 74%. Daytime temperatures in summer in Tokyo are typically in the lower 30 degrees Celsius (86 - 95 degrees Fahrenheit). July is also the cloudiest month in Tokyo, with an average of 13% sunshine hours.

Tokyo's total rainfall in 2018 was 1651.5 mm. September and October often form the wettest period, with April not far behind. February is often the driest month.

Tokyo's time zone is 9 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. Tokyo does not have daylight saving.

Tokyo experiences numerous earthquakes . Before the March 11 2011 Tohoku earthquake, 2005 was the year when Tokyo had had the most earthquakes of over 1 on the Richter scale, with 85 earthquakes. The Tohoku earthquake was an upper 5 on the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) scale and the aftershocks over the next two months were innumerable. The yearly average for earthquakes over 1 on the Richter scale in Tokyo is about 50.

Tokyo history and politics

Tokyo is the seat of the Emperor of Japan, the figurehead of Japan's constitutional monarchy, who lives in the Imperial Palace (Kohkyo) in the heart of Tokyo.

Tokyo became a major city, and one of the world's most populous, from the beginning of the 17th century, when the city was called Edo , founded in the 12th century. In 1603, the warrior leader Tokugawa Ieyasu made it the seat of his feudal government. Tokyo became the capital of Japan (at the expense of Kyoto ), and had its name changed from "Edo" to "Tokyo," in 1868 with the modernizing Meiji Restoration .

In 1964, Tokyo hosted the summer Olympic Games and will stage the Olympics again in 2020.

Tokyo's tree: Gingko (Ichoh in Japanese, Ginkgo biloba)

Tokyo's bird: Black-headed Gull ( Chroicocephalus ridibundus )

Tokyo's official symbol, adopted in June 1989, comprises three green arcs forming the letter T in the shape of a ginkgo leaf. It is a symbol of Tokyo's growth, its prosperity, and tranquility.

Tokyo government and administration

Tokyo's status is on a par with the prefectures that make up Japan, but is known as a metropolis, or to (都), rather than a prefecture, or ken (県).

Tokyo consists of 62 municipalities: 23 wards, 26 cities, 5 towns, and 8 villages, the villages mostly consisting of the Izu Islands and the Ogasawara Islands off the coast of Tokyo, the furthest being 354 km away from the Tokyo Metropolitan government headquarters. The area of Tokyo to the west is known as the Tama Region.

The present governor of Tokyo, elected in 2016 is Yuriko Koike (b.1952), the first woman to hold the office. The Governor is elected by direct citizen vote, and represents the Metropolis of Tokyo for a renewable term of 4 years.

The former Governor of Tokyo was Yoichi Masuzoe (b.1948), a famous politician even before his election to Tokyo governor, a renowned political economist and expert on the problem of Japan's aging society. He was once a Diet member for the Liberal Democratic Party. Masuzoe resigned in June 2016 for misusing public funds.

Tokyo is administered by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, which has its headquarters, known in Japanese as Tocho , in Shinjuku ward, west of Shinjuku Station . It is governed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly (Tokyo-to gikai 東京都議会) made up of 127 members directly elected by Tokyo citizens to serve a term of four years.

As of April 1, 2015, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government employed a total of 167,914 persons.

In fiscal year 2015, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's budget made up approximately 6.9% of the total budget of all the local bodies in Japan.

Tokyo's major airports are Haneda Airport in Ota ward, and Narita International Airport in neighboring Chiba prefecture, 60 km from downtown Tokyo.

The high speed railway shinkansen (bullet train) network is an alternative to flying that generally takes no longer than by air. Tokyo is served by numerous train, subway and bus lines. The most efficient way to move around the 23 wards is by the JR East train lines and the subway lines.

The main Japan Rail East lines in Tokyo are:

• the Yamanote Line (green trains), a loop line that is the best known of all Tokyo lines

Tokyo, a window into the future

First and foremost, Tokyo offers a uniquely different take on the modern megalopolis. The city presents an impression of a modernity that seems to have travelled in time (an oft-recurring notion in this otherworldly country, in one sense or another) and is constantly on the move and buzzing with energy across its whole area, which is more than twice that of London. So come along with us and discover and explore this crazy city on your trip to Japan !

Tokyo, a modern city

In addition to the way Tokyo looks, it is also the way the whole city is arranged that comes as a surprise to the Western visitor : no real centre, but instead a multitude of districts so large that its easier to think of them as a collection of different towns, each with its own distinct personality, and all connected to each other by public transport systems that offer the ultimate in efficiency.

Anyone who tends towards claustrophobia would be well advised to avoid Japan's capital. It has a population density 50 percent greater than that of London and everything seems to move at 100 mph. However, it would be a shame to let these aspects put you off: Tokyo is a fascinating city with so many different sides to offer that it is impossible not to find at least several aspects to your liking.

A few days in Tokyo

Head off to make the most of the high quality and affordable prices to be found in Akihabara, the "Electric Town", and spend some time wandering around the Ginza district, walking through the gardens of the isolated palace, and having a look around the city's Tsukuji Market (the largest fish market in the world). Enjoy the beauty of the blossoming cherry trees in the parks of Shinjuku; open your mind to what local culture has to offer in the Roppongi Art Triangle or at Tokyo National Museum, and to top it all off, relax and recharge your batteries at the Oedo Onsen Monogatari.

If you decide to visit Japan through a travel agency or with a guide, spend some time discussing your priorities with them beforehand. They will then be able to direct you to the districts most suited to your tastes and help you to see a plethora of little things that are normally invisible to the ordinary traveller.

Tokyo is located on Tokyo Bay in the Kanto region of Honshu, Japan’s largest island. The closest airport airports are Haneda officially known as Tokyo International Airport, and Narita Airport , Japan's largest international airport. Tokyo is known for its fashion and shopping, from the trendy shopping districts of Harajuku and Shibuya , to the luxury flagships of Ginza . Shinjuku is the thriving business district; a mix of gleaming skyscrapers and atmospheric back streets with tiny bars. Asakusa is the heart of Tokyo’s downtown, with ancient temples and traditional stores. Tokyo is a foodie paradise with more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other city in the world, along with hundreds of cheap and delicious ramen shops. Tokyo Weather Tokyo has mild spring weather, followed by hot and humid summers punctuated with typhoons. Autumn in Tokyo is cool and fresh, followed by cold, dry winters. Snow is rare but has been known to fall in the first few months of the year. The one week forecast for Tokyo is an accurate guide to the weather for the coming week.

How to Get There

• Exploring Tokyo's dizzying array of restaurant and dining options, from theme cafes to haute cuisine
• Checking out the latest electronics, games and gadgets at Akihabara, the home of technology and anime culture
• Experiencing vibrant youth culture in Harajuku and Shibuya, the trend capitals of Tokyo
• Visiting Tokyo' s most famous temple, Sensoji, before ferrying down the Sumida River and learning the role the city's waterways played in Edo-era Tokyo

Tokyo Pattern-Dyed Fabrics

The beauty of Tokyo Komon is in its subtlety. The fabric appears to be a solid color from a distance but up close a delicate pattern is revealed through repeated dots and tiny lines. Once worn by high-ranking samurai, komon is now prized for its beauty and the skills required in its production.

Tokyo Dyed Silk

Elegance and sophistication define the subtle designs of Tokyo Yuzen kimonos, still produced in the city today. This technique of dyeing and hand-painting silk dates back over 300 years, and is unique in that the entire process from design to completion is handled by a solitary artist, allowing for wonderful individuality.

Fukagawa-Meshi

Fukagawa-meshi combines clams, miso and leeks to make a warming, flavorful soup that is poured over a bowl of rice. Clams and leeks are first boiled together to create a rich, briny broth, before miso is then added. The resulting soup and clams are then poured over a bowl of white rice. Fukagawa-meshi is typically eaten with chopsticks so don't be afraid to pick up the bowl and slurp. Outside of the Fukagawa district of Tokyo, this dish can be hard to find.

Murayama Oshima Pongee Silk

Prized for making beautiful, natural, lightweight kimonos, Musashi-Murayama Tsumugi is a blend of silk and cotton dyed in a unique process known as itajime, where the threads are bound to a wooden board and splashed with color. The result is a distinctive blurred effect in blues and browns.

Tokyo Shamo

A breed of chicken imported to Japan from Thailand as gamecocks. As a delicacy, Tokyo shamo yield an oil-rich cut of chicken that is perfect for grilling yakitori style.

A savory pancake made of finely chopped cabbage, flour, egg and dashi. Other ingredients such as pork, shrimp and octopus are added according to your tastes. Monjayaki has more dashi in its batter than its Kansai cousin, okonomiyaki, giving it a melted cheese texture.

Edomae Sushi

The style of sushi most familiar worldwide. As Edo, which is now Tokyo, became wealthier, sushi became a less formal, faster style of dining. Busy Tokyoites simply sat down at the counter and called out their orders to the nearest itamae—the chefs.

Japanese Swords

Japanese swords are revered for the strength and beauty of their blades as well as the “spirit of the samurai” history they represent. Regarded as works of art more than as weapons, superb examples of these swords can be viewed at the Japanese Sword Museum in Sumida, Tokyo.

Edo Cut Glass

Originally made in Edo—present-day Tokyo—kiriko is decorated entirely with precision cuts. Exquisite patterns characterize these statement pieces, making this cut glassware a perfect addition to any bar set.

Seasonal Highlights

See the city take on a gentler appearance as the plum blossoms and cherry blossoms flower. Stretch out on a mat, drink sake and eat Japanese dumplings under the blooms at Shinjuku Gyoen, Yoyogi, Ueno or Inokashira parks. Parks have different rules and regulations so make sure to check before visiting.

Enjoy one of Japan's largest fireworks displays at the Sumida River. Head for Mt. Takao for its seasonal beer garden and to see some fireflies.

Visit gardens such as Koishikawa Korakuen, or hike the Okutama mountains for fantastic fall foliage. Temperatures cool but the event calendar heats up with the Tokyo Game Show and Tokyo International Film Festival.

Winter illuminations appear throughout the city, ice-skating rinks open and revelers crowd shrines and temples such as Sensoji Temple and Meiji-jingu Shrine for New Year pilgrimages and festivities.

Livestream of TMC's Press Conference

Toyota Motor Corporation held a press conference in Tokyo on June 3, 2024 from 5:00 p.m. JST. The video of the press briefing is available below.

Live stream details

Date / time.

Monday, June 3, 5:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. JST

The ending time is subject to change depending on the circumstances.

Japanese (English interpretation provided)

Akio Toyoda, Chairman

Shinji miyamoto, customer first promotion group, chief officer, event details.

Explanation, Q&A

I am Akio Toyoda.

Thank you for attending this press conference today despite the sudden notice.

On January 26 this year, we received instructions from Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to conduct an investigation on type designation applications, which we followed.

The investigation is still ongoing, but it identified that seven models, including those that have already ended production since 2014, were tested using methods that differ from the standards defined by the national authorities, and we reported this to the Ministry on May 31.

This matter involves two companies, Toyota Motor Corporation and Toyota Motor East Japan.

As the person responsible for the Toyota Group, I would like to extend my sincere apologies to our customers, car enthusiasts, and all stakeholders for this issue, following Hino, Daihatsu, and Toyota Industries Corporation. I am truly sorry.

All the cases are related to certification.

The certification system in Japan verifies whether a product meets the established standards mainly in the fields of safety and environment using measurement methods in accordance with rules.

Vehicles can only be manufactured and sold after meeting certification test standards.

The point of this issue is that the vehicles were mass-produced and sold without going through the correct certification processes.

Miyamoto from the Customer First Promotion Group will now explain the details.

I am Miyamoto.

Please allow me to explain the details.

First, we believe that certification is the bare minimum and most important process for mass-producing and selling cars to customers and ensuring that they can be used safely and securely.

Broadly, there are three ways of conducting certification.

The first is to have an examiner from a designated technical service witness the test. The second is for the automaker to carry out the in-house certification test themselves and submit the data. The third is to submit the compatible development test data for certification.

This time, cases were found in the second and third ways.

Among them, we have found six specific cases.

This is the list of six cases.

This is the first case.

During the partial redesign of the Crown and Isis in 2014 and 2015, airbag timer ignition development test data was used for certification application.

When a collision occurs, occupants are protected primarily by seat belts and airbags. In the case of Isis, we were working on seat belt development to improve its performance.

In this development test, a timer ignition method was used to create more severe collision conditions than those in the certification test.

In addition, additional model development was being done for the Crown.

The purpose of this development test was to confirm the occupant protection performance of seat belts and airbags. A timer ignition method was used to ensure the deployment of the airbags in the test prototype.

The performance of automatic airbag ignition had already been verified in an existing model.

In both cases, a certification test should have been conducted again under conditions as close as possible to what would be delivered to the customer, and such data should have been submitted. However, the development test data was used for certification.

Next, the second case.

In 2015, during the development of the Corolla, a test was conducted to check the damage to a pedestrian's head in a collision.

Development test data under more severe test conditions were used for certification.

As shown in the figure, the impact angle of 65 degrees is a more severe test condition.

The test should have been conducted again with the 50-degree impact angle stipulated by regulations, and this data should have been submitted for certification.

However, the development test data was used for certification.

Next, the third case.

In 2015, during the development of the Corolla, Sienta, and Crown, a test was conducted to check the damage to a pedestrian's head and legs in a collision.

The data of the opposite side of the applied measuring points was used for certification, and unilateral point data was used for both sides in certification.

It was confirmed that the test results for the left and right points of the vehicle show no difference.

The test should have been conducted again with the selected measuring points, and this data should have been submitted.

There is a process for applying for and obtaining an agreement in advance to determine the measuring points. However, we believe that there was insufficient communication with the technical service about the change of measuring points during the structural changes and the technical verification process during development.

Next, the fourth case.

This is a test to confirm fuel leakage and other issues due to the impact of a rear-end collision during the development of the Crown in 2014 and the Sienta in 2015.

The development test data under more severe test conditions with a moving barrier was used for certification.

An A 1,800 kg moving barrier was used for the development test, which is heavier than the regulation standard of 1,100 kg; therefore, the test had a greater impact.

The test should have been done again using the 1,100 kg moving barrier stipulated by regulations, and this data should have been submitted.

Next, the fifth case.

During the development of the Yaris Cross in 2020, a test was carried out to examine the damage caused to the rear seat when luggage placed in the rear space of the vehicle moves due to the impact of a collision.

After regulation changes, there was an additional requirement for luggage blocks.

However, the development test data using the old blocks was submitted for certification application.

The test should have been done again using the new blocks, and that data should have been submitted.

Lastly, the sixth case.

During the development of the Lexus RX engine in 2015, a certification test was conducted to check the engine power.

In this test, the targeted power could not be achieved.

When a problem like this occurs, the test should have been stopped, the cause investigated, and measures taken. However, the engine control system was adjusted to achieve the targeted power, and the re-tested data was used for certification.

This case is different in nature from cases (1) to (5) in that the results were changed to meet the standards.

A subsequent investigation has determined that the cause is the partial collapse of the test muffler.

The six cases explained can be grouped as:

Cases (1) to (5) involve development test data applied for certification, and case (6) involves the automaker conducting its own certification test and submitting that data.

In terms of the scale involved in the certifications explained today, we certify about 50 models per year and submit about 7,000 reports over 10 years.

The content of one report, for example, in the case of pedestrian protection, includes the results of numerous point collision tests and the results of tests on the left and right sides of the bumper.

We do not have the total number of test results at this time, but we have reviewed tens of thousands of test results. Although we are still in the process of reviewing them, we have reported on six cases today.

This concludes my explanation.

Although still ongoing, our investigation involving tens of thousands of items, has revealed six cases. We have conducted internal verifications on all the cases and confirmed that they all meet the legally defined standards and can be used safely by our customers. We conducted internal verifications on all the cases. We confirmed that all cases meet the legally defined standards and can, therefore, be used safely by our customers.

We conducted internal verifications on all the categories. We confirmed that all categories meet the legally defined standards and can, therefore, be used safely by our customers.

Nevertheless, these acts shake the very foundations of the certification system, and as an automobile manufacturer, we believe they are acts that must never be committed.

After the press conference on January 30 of this year, my immediate action was to ensure that everyone involved, including myself, correctly understood the problem.

Therefore, in February, I took the lead and called on Toyota, Hino, Daihatsu, and Toyota Industries to hold the TPS Jishuken (Joint Kaizen Activities) for Certification Work.

First, we focused on the processes in which certification-related work was most prone to problems and began by visualizing the material and information flow diagram.

As a result, work structure issues have now become clear, and we will carry out concrete improvements.

The other day, I went to the genba myself and checked on the progress.

The presidents of each company, Oyaji genba leaders, veteran engineers, and young employees who have been working at the company for a few years participated beyond the boundaries of titles and individual corporate frameworks to learn from one another while studying the material and information flow diagram.

By doing so, we were able to find where the problems were in the work structure.

We also discovered that not only Toyota but also Group companies are facing the same issues.

That is where we are at now.

Since we are all part of the same Group, we should talk to each other and continue to make improvements together, including top management and genba employees.

I feel that we have taken the first step in this direction.

I intend to extend our efforts throughout the entire Group and restore authority to the genba to create a solid corporate culture that makes ever-better cars.

These efforts will need to be done steadily and will take time, but I will go to the genba myself and take responsibility for their progress.

We appreciate your kind attention.
