Which city in Japan is known as the biggest metropolis?
No other city in Japan captures the mix of tradition and modernity better than Tokyo.
Known as the biggest metropolis in Japan, Tokyo is famous for the latest Japanese fashion trends in Ginza and Harajuku, iconic monuments like Hachiko and Gundam statues, skyscrapers like Tokyo Skytree, and futuristic tech havens like Odaiba and Akihabara.
Plus, you’ll never find a frenzy quite like the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, where thousands of people cross the world’s busiest intersection without colliding into each other.
Away from the bustle of it all, Tokyo also has plenty of serene gardens like Yoyogi Park and Ueno Park — not to mention iconic Japanese landmarks like Meiji Shrine and Sensoji Temple.

Richard D. Boyle, Same as London which has 'absorbed' several towns from the home counties.

Yokohama is close to Tokyo, so is probably part of the greater metropolitan area also.

When I was there in the late 1950s, Tokyo was les than half its present size. Its substantial growth in size is primarily the result of having taken into the metropolitan limits dozens of originally independent suburban communities which are now all considered to be part of “Greater Tokyo.”

🅰️Antoinette🅱️, it's been the capital for centuries going back to a time when it was called Edo. Tokyo as a name has only existed since the mid-1800s.

Probably why it's the capital!?
