What are some interesting facts about Tokyo?
Tokyo has been the capital of Japan only since 1868; before that, Kyoto served as capital for more than 1,000 years.
Ten percent of Japan's total population lives in Tokyo—more than 13 million residents. Almost a quarter of Japan's total population lives within commuting distance.
Tokyo's workers commute to work an average of 90 minutes one-way. Shinjuku Station handles the most train and subway passengers in all of Japan—more than 3.6 million people a day, giving it an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records as the busiest rail station in the world. More than 200 exits, including those from surrounding underground shopping passages and shopping centers, lead out of the station.
Mount Fuji is visible from Tokyo about 80 days a year, mostly in winter.
Tokyo suffered widespread destruction twice in the last century—in the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake and from World War II firebombs. In both instances, more than 100,000 people lost their lives. The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake left Tokyo relatively unscathed.
During the Edo Period (1603– 1867), Edo (old Tokyo) witnessed almost 100 major fires, not to mention countless smaller fires.
Tokyo sprawls over 1,288 sq. km (497 sq. miles), yet most streets are not named.
Rickshaws originated in Tokyo in 1869; 4 years later, there were 34,000 of the people-propelled vehicles in the capital city.
Green space in Tokyo is woefully inadequate—just 4.52 sq. m (51⁄2 sq. yd.) per capita, compared to 45.7 sq. m (55 sq. yd.) in Washington, D.C.
The yakuza (members of Japan's mobster underworld) were barred from participating in construction of the Tokyo Sky Tree in an effort to undermine the gangsters' cozy relationship with construction companies in Japan. According to police information, it's estimated that almost 83,000 gangsters belonging to 23 crime syndicates across the country generate an economy worth 20 trillion yen.
