If Tokyo was in Japan, why is it written in English letters? Checkmate atheist
I bet you use default settings and auto-update everything.
I don’t. Checkmate atheist
Yeah that’s just another thing stolen by the British Museum
Wait until they realize that 1/5 of US states are larger than the entire UK.
I live in the U.S. and I didn’t really understand how big a state or a city could be until I moved to California and entered Los Angeles county to go to my apartment in North Hollywood. And it just kept going… and going… and going…
I think that happens when people ask how big a city could be instead of SHOULD be
I thought I was gonna die of old age the one and only time I ever drove across Kansas.
That was Oklahoma for me. I was 7. I might still be driving through it today.
Flying into Los Angeles was the most surreal experience of my life. It just goes on and on and on …

Reminds me of that one occasion where there was a natural disaster event in Japan.
Someone commented that Japan must be lying because they checked Google Maps street view from the areas that were hammered by the nature and didn’t see anything broken.
You guys know that tiny island down the bottom of earth by Australia… Yeah that’s bigger than the uk
You mean Austria?
Antarctica?
Apparently I live in Tokyo. I suppose it’s better than living in London
Isn’t everywhere better than living in London?
Heyoo!

Yes. It is indeed big. Good eye, OP.
Going by what is included in Greater Tokyo, we can tell that Tokyo proper is about the same size as London, probably a bit larger.
It looks like the London greater area is also included on this map though?
No, it shows “Greater London” which is basically just London, but is called that to distinguish it from “The City of London” which is 1mi square in the centre of Greater London.
Yeah I think this would be less impressive if it included an outline of our own sprawling metropolis.
Fascinating meme, but untrue. England is in Tokyo, not Japan, while I’m in your mom.
This Greater Tokyo Area covers whole prefectures outside of Tokyo. I personally consider 首都圏 to be prefectures surrounding Tokyo, or “capital region” is more of an apt term.
Since Narita in Chiba is considered a Tokyo Airport, a more fair comparison for London would be from Lydd Airport - London Ashford to London Luton Airport to London Stansted Airport.
It was a city state, an empire of it’s own for a very long time.
Tokyo? Hasn’t the Kanto region been part of Japan for over a millenium?
Yes, I didn’t mean last Tuesday.
Tokyo became a city, and the seat of the shogunate, in 1603. (Before that it was a fishing village in Musashi Province.) It became the capital of Japan in 1868, and has stayed so ever since. It was never a city-state.
When did they move Tokyo to Japan?
