Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō, "Eastern Capital") (Japanese: [toːkjoː], English /ˈtoʊki.oʊ/), officially Tokyo Metropolis (東京都, Tōkyō-to), is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan, and is both the capital and largest city of Japan. The Greater Tokyo Area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world. It is the seat of the Emperor of Japan and the Japanese government. Tokyo is in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Formerly known as Edo, it has been the de facto seat of government since 1603 when Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu made the city his headquarters. It officially became the capital after Emperor Meiji moved his seat to the city from the old capital of Kyoto in 1868; at that time Edo was renamed Tokyo. Tokyo Metropolis was formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府, Tōkyō-fu) and the city of Tokyo (東京市, Tōkyō-shi).
Tourism in Tokyo is a major industry. In 2006, 4.81 million foreigners and 420 million Japanese visits to Tokyo were made; the economic value of these visits totaled 9.4 trillion yen according to the government of Tokyo. Many tourists visit the various downtowns, stores, and entertainment districts throughout the neighborhoods of the special wards of Tokyo; particularly school children on class trips, a visit to Tokyo Tower is de rigueur.
Cultural offerings include both omnipresent Japanese pop culture and associated districts such as Shibuya and Harajuku, subcultural attractions such as Studio Ghibli anime center, as well as museums like the Tokyo National Museum, which houses 37% of the country's artwork national treasures (87/233). No buildings in Tokyo are World heritage sites and only the Jizo Hall of Shofuku-ji, a suburban temple, is a National treasure. Other popular attractions include the Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, and Sensō-ji, a popular temple. Finally, many tourists, particularly foreign tourists, visit Tsukiji Fish Market, as the time-zone difference leads to foreign visitors waking up very early local time.
The transport network in Greater Tokyo includes public and private rail and highway networks; airports for international, domestic, and general aviation; buses; motorcycle delivery services, walking, bicycling, and commercial shipping. While the nexus is in the central part of Tokyo, every part of the Greater Tokyo Area has rail or road transport services. The sea and air transport is available from limited number of ports for the general public.

Keywords: rural-settingDid you know that Tokyo has islands? Yes, the prefecture (province/state) of Tokyo has a volcanic chain of islands called the Izu Seven Islands group. We stayed at Shikinejima (Shikine-jima), which is a small island 3 km long by 2.5 km wide that is located 160 km south of the city of Tokyo. To get there, we took an overnight ferry, where we slept on a carpeted floor.

I'm heading back to Tokyo via Ferry from Hachijojima Island. The trip takes about 11-12 hours and costs ¥10,060 (about $92) for 2nd class B tickets (the cheapest one). There are vending machines galore onboard as well as a restaurant, buy tickets from the vending machine and find your own seat, cafeteria style. I flew from Tokyo Haneda Airport to Hachijojima 10 days ago (1 hour / ¥13,500 or $120) but boat is convenient if you want to camp. The ferry pier at Hachijojima is only a 200 meter walk to the free camping area.

伊豆諸島にある式根島(東京都 新島村)は、東京から東海汽船高速ジェット船で約3時間の小さな島です。 静かな入り江、海水浴場が数箇所あり透明度の高い海と白い砂浜の美しい海岸線は東京の島とは思えない絶景です。 Shikine-jima Island in the Izu Islands (Niijima Village, Tokyo) is a small island about three hours from Tokyo to the Tokai-kisen high-speed jet ship. There are a lot of quiet coves, beaches and beautiful coastline with a clear sea and white sandy beaches that I don't think is an island in Tokyo. 撮影協力:新島村フィルムコミッッション、東海汽船 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 無人航空機の全国包括飛行許可承認番号 東空運第540号および東空検第228号 -------------------------------------------------------------------- ドローン空撮-再生リスト Aerial Drone footage showreel Playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMyf7bjc4ZIEUnM9dcxxYmYViyqMMMcfX AQUA Geo Graphic (English) http://www.aquageographic.net/home/ AQU...

Tokyo has tropical islands and it's public transportation extends beyond trains and subways to this helicopter service between Hachijojima and Aogashima. After a week on Aogashima, I filmed my experience flying back to Hachijojima.

Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe A dispute between China and Japan over a string of islands in the East China Sea continues to spark protest on both sides. Protests over the islands, known as the Senkaku by Japan and the Diaoyu by China, grew in Tokyo over the weekend. Japan has bought the islands privately, but China says it is the rightful owner. Japan believes the group of these tiny islands lies just outside Chinese waters, but Beijing draws the border differently. The islands are also near rich fishing grounds and critically are thought to contain oil deposits. Al Jazeera's Steve Chao reports from Tokyo, where activists led a march on the Chinese embassy. At Al Jazeera English, we focus on people and events that ...

It was the most incredible place I've been in my life! I highly, highly recommend this for anyone visiting Japan. However, getting there is a bit tricky! You either need to drive a car, take an expensive taxi, or catch a questionable ride on a city bus in a city southwest of Sendai called Shiroishi. The details are on the website (in Japanese). The bus costs 200 yen and doesn't actually stop at Fox Village, so ...

The island population hit the highest of 655 people in 1960. There have not been enough job so many people left the island. On 1976 the island's only primary school shut down.

Take my hand
Rob me for a while of my sight
Don't let me stand
Here underneath the red light
Oh touch my face
Feel the fascination as love grows
Your embrace
Eases the pain that only Tokyo knows
Where were you when I was cold
And all the world was out to get me
(Chorus)
Tokyo
Why can't I ever say no
Tokyo
Sense the chill
Of silent nights on my skin
Feel the thrill
As these four walls just cave in
Taste the rain
Splashes down on my roof
Seek in vain
For you will never know the real truth
This human heart beats much too fast
For comfort or for love in Tokyo
(Repeat Chorus)
