Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the most populous city in the world with a population of over 14 million residents as of 2023. The Tokyo metropolitan area, which includes Tokyo and nearby prefectures, is the world’s most-populous metropolitan area with 40.8 million residents as of 2023.
Located at the head of Tokyo Bay, Tokyo is part of the Kantō region on the central coast of Honshu, Japan’s largest island. Tokyo serves as Japan’s economic center and the seat of both the Japanese government and the Emperor of Japan.
Beginning in the mid-20th century, Tokyo underwent rapid reconstruction and expansion that contributed to the era’s so-called Japanese economic miracle in which Japan’s economy propelled to the second-largest in the world behind the United States.
Tokyo is recognized as one of the world’s most livable cities. These vintage photos from
