トリビア [Trivia]
- Is part of the largest metropolitan area in the world, combined with Kanagawa, Saitama, and Chiba prefectures.
- Has several of the busiest train stations in the world, including the busiest, which is Shinjuku station.
- Speaking of trains, the trains are internationally renowned for extreme punctuality.
- Has a rivalry with Osaka, especially in baseball. In fact, the Yomiuri Giants-Hanshin Tigers rivalry is as intense as the New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox rivalry.
- In fact, Tokyo has 2 teams within Tokyo proper: the Yomiuri Giants, and the Yakult Swallows.
- Is a victim of wildly unrealistic "theme park" portrayals in fiction, much like other international cities.
- Is destroyed and rebuilt nearly every 50 years or so, most recently after World War II.
- Has its own classification, -to (or metropolis), on-par with a prefecture in governance.
- A large portion of the metropolis is actually rural, primarily the western part (also known as the Tama area).
- Is set to host the 2020 Olympic Games.
