Tokyo Sights

View all »

Greater Tokyo incorporates 23 wards, 26 smaller cities, 7 towns, and 8 villages—altogether sprawling 88 km (55 mi) from east to west and 24 km (15 mi) from north to south with a population of 35 million people. The wards alone enclose an area of 590 square km (228 square mi), which comprise the city center and house 8 million residents. Chiyoda-ku, Chuo-ku, Shinju-ku, and Minato-ku are the four central business districts. Because of the easy access to the public transportation system, 48% of residents are transit commuters; only 32% drive to work. Most people live in the suburbs and average a 56-minute commute. During rush hour, an immense tidal wave of people floods all major transportation hubs, through which approximately 3 million people pass each day.
