Tokyo Districts

Tokyo prefecture, or Tokyo-to, consists of 23 special wards in the east, along with 26 cities, 5 towns, and 8 villages in a western region known as the Tama area, as well as 11 islands that make up the Izu and Ogasawara Island Chain.

The population of Tokyo prefecture is 14.26 million, with 9.93 million residing in the 23-ward area.

Each of the 23 special wards "ku" is often described as a "city" because its size is comparable to that of a regional city in Japan. For example, Setagaya-ku (= Setagaya City), the largest ward within the 23 wards, has a population of over 939,000 people.

Central Tokyo

The Yamanote Line on the JR (Japan Railways ) circles the city center and is a key reference point for getting around Tokyo. The line is about 34.5 kilometers long, and a full loop takes about 65 minutes by train. On average, each station is 1.18 kilometers apart, which is about a 2-minute ride including stops.

*Yamanote Line is "Yamanote-sen" in Japanese, usually called "Yamate-sen" in short.
