Tokyo hosted the 1964 Olympic Games, which is said to be "one of the most legendary Olympics". It was an active bidder for the 2016 Olympics, but was eliminated in favor of Rio de Janeiro.
The area code for calls from China to Tokyo, Japan is 00813, 81 is the international area code for Japan, and 3 is the area code for Tokyo within Japan.
Third, geological features Tokyo is located in the southern part of the Kanto region, roughly in the center of the Japanese archipelago. It is connected to Chiba Prefecture by the Edo River in the east, Yamanashi Prefecture by the mountains in the west, Kanagawa Prefecture by the Tama River in the south, and Saitama Prefecture in the north. The Tokyo Circle consists of Tokyo and three neighboring prefectures, Saitama, Kanagawa, and Chiba. This area is home to 26% of Japan's total population. The metropolitan area consists of Tokyo and the seven surrounding prefectures of Saitama, Kanagawa, Chiba, Gunma, Tochigi, Ibaraki, and Yamanashi. Tokyo is the metropolitan administration, which consists of smaller administrative units, including wards and municipalities, with the "central" area divided into 23 wards, and the Tama region in the west consisting of 26 municipalities, three towns (cho), and one village (son). 23 special wards and the Tama region form a long and narrow strip of land that is 90 kilometers wide from east to west and 25 kilometers long from north to south. It is 25 kilometers long from north to south. The islands of Izu and Ogasawara in the Pacific Ocean are geographically separated from Tokyo. They are also part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. There are two towns and seven villages on the two islands. Tokyo has a total population of 12.54 million (September 1, 2005) and an area of about 2,187 square kilometers. The climate is mild. The 23 special districts cover a total area of approximately 621 square kilometers. The population is on the rise, with 8.45 million inhabitants and a population density of approximately 13,063 people per square kilometer - September 1, 2005 Commercial office facilities are fairly concentrated within these twenty-three wards. This part of Tokyo has an ample transportation network, making this area quite convenient for transportation and shopping. However, there are some issues that must be clarified: the increase in office and other commercial facilities has led to a decline in the basic function of the area as a place to live. The diminishing water areas and green belts have resulted in the disappearance of comfortable living spaces. Seismic hazards are a major concern in the area due to the high concentration of wooden houses in the area. It can be seen that in the process of urban development, the construction of urban infrastructures has not kept pace with the times, such as the roads around the 23 wards. The Tama region covers an area of about 1,160 square kilometers.
Fourth, Sightseeing
Tokyo's main shopping areas are located around the major stations on the Yamanote Line, with department stores concentrated in Ikebukuro, Shinjuku and Harajuku, Shibuya, Shinbashi, Ginza near the Ginza business district attached to Tokyo Station, Kanda and Nihonbashi, which make up the main shopping areas. There are also Akihabara, which is famous for its electrical appliances, Jimbocho, which is famous for its used book market, Tsukiji Chuo Wholesale Market, which is famous for its fish wholesale, and Ueno Sugar Yokocho, which is famous for its bargains. Characteristic place names are also used Nagata-cho, Kasumigaseki, Todoromachi, Otemachi, and so on. Nagata-cho is the location of the central part of the Japanese parliament and political parties, and Japanese people often use Nagata-cho to refer to Japanese politics; Kasumigaseki is the location of Japanese government ministries, and Japanese people often compare it to the bureaucrats or the Ministry of Finance; and Todorokucho is the location of Tokyo's stock market, and some people refer to it as the securities kingdom of Japan. As for Otemachi, it is often visited by foreign students, and the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau is located here.
Tokyo's famous sightseeing spots include the Tokyo Tower, the Imperial Palace, the Diet Hall, Asakusa Temple, Hamarikyu Shrine, Ueno Park and Zoo, Kasai Rinkai Park, Odaiba, and Tokyo Disneyland. Some of the more unique games are baseball and sumo wrestling. For baseball, you can go to Tokyo Stadium at Korakuen Station, which is the home of the Tokyo Giants. For sumo, you can go to Ryogoku near Akihabara, where there is a Ryogoku Kokugikan and many clubs for sumo wrestlers, each with its own name and logo. The Edo-Tokyo Museum is also worth seeing. The neighborhoods of several major stations on the Yamanote Line are also good places to visit for fun and sightseeing, such as the Sunshine Tower near Ikebukuro with its concentration of aquariums, art galleries, and museums, the Metropolitan Government Building, Kabukicho, and shopping districts near Shinjuku, and the Shibuya and Harajuku districts, which are a source of information on the fashions, music, make-up, belongings, hairstyles, and even the lifestyles of young people in Japan. The Ueno neighborhood is home to such places as traditional Japanese theaters, the Tokyo National Museum of Fine Arts, the National Museum of Science, the National Museum of Western Art, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art. The main streets of Ginza and Shinjuku, which are closed to vehicular traffic on Sundays, become a paradise for walkers, and are filled with a wide variety of people, including street artists selling their art or public performances, vendors from various countries selling handmade goods, and young people playing in the streets.
V. History
More than 500 years ago, Tokyo was a small, sparsely populated fishing town called Edo, where Edo Castle was built in 1457 by a military general named Ota Michiru. Since then, it became the commercial center of Japan's Kanto region, and when the centralized Tokugawa Shogunate was established in 1603, people from all over Japan were concentrated here, and Edo Castle quickly grew to become the political center of the country. It is recorded that at the beginning of the 19th century, the population of Edo exceeded one million.In 1868, after the Meiji Restoration, the Emperor moved from Kyoto to this city and changed Edo to Tokyo, which became the capital of the nation of Japan.In 1943, the government of Japan issued a decree to change the city of Tokyo to Tokyo Metropolis, which enlarged the scope of its jurisdiction. Tokyo is the political center of the whole country of Japan. The executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the state are concentrated here. The Kasumigaseki area, known as "Government Office Street," is home to the Diet Hall, the Supreme Court, and government offices belonging to the Cabinet, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of Education and Culture. The former Edo Castle is now the palace of the Emperor. Tokyo is also the economic center of Japan. Major Japanese companies are concentrated here. Most of them are located in Chiyoda-ku, Chuo-ku and Minato-ku. Tokyo, together with Yokohama to the south and Chiba to the east***, forms the Keihamaha Industrial Zone, which is famous in Japan. The main industries are iron and steel, shipbuilding, machine building, chemicals, electronics, leather, electrical machinery, fibers, petroleum, publishing and printing, and precision instruments. Tokyo's financial industry and commercial development, internal and external business activities. Known as the "heart of Tokyo," known as Ginza, is the most prosperous local business district. Tokyo is also the center of culture and education in Japan. A variety of cultural institutions are densely populated, including 80 percent of the country's publishing houses and large-scale, advanced equipment, the National Museum, the Museum of Western Art, the National Library and so on. Universities located in Tokyo account for one-third of the total number of universities in Japan, and more than half of the total number of university students in the country are enrolled in these universities. As an international metropolis, Tokyo also hosts a variety of international cultural exchange events, such as the Tokyo Music Festival and the Tokyo International Film Festival.
The history of Tokyo dates back more than 400 years. Known as "Edo" at the time, the city began to flourish after Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa Shogunate there in 1603. As the political and cultural center of Japan, Edo became a large city with a population of one million in the middle of the 18th century. Throughout this period, the emperor resided in Kyoto, which was the official capital of the country. The Edo period lasted for nearly 260 years until the Meiji Restoration of 1868, which saw the collapse of Tokugawa shogunate rule and the revival of imperial power. The Emperor moved to Edo and renamed it Tokyo, which has been the capital of Japan ever since.
During the Meiji period (1868-1912), Japan became keen to imbibe Western European civilization. A large number of stone and masonry buildings were built on the feudal lords' estates, and the roads in the major cities were paved with rounded stones.
In 1869, the first telecommunication line was opened between Tokyo and Yokohama,
and in 1872, the first steam locomotive began to run between Shimbashi and Yokohama. Western European hairstyles replaced the traditional chignon for men, and hard bowler hats, high collars and dresses with skirt supports became the height of fashion.
In 1882, Japan's first zoo opened in Ueno.
In 1885, a cabinet system of government was adopted, and Ito Hirobumi became Japan's first prime minister. With the proclamation of the Imperial Constitution of Japan (Meiji Constitution) in 1889, Japan established the political system of a modern nation-state.
During the Taisho period (1912-1926), the number of working people in the cities increased, and the proportion of urban dwellers spending money on living increased. Also, the level of education improved, and the number of girls enrolled in higher girls' schools increased. Performing arts such as theater and opera flourished.
Post-earthquake Tokyo In September 1923, the Great Kanto Earthquake left Tokyo in ruins. Fires caused by the quake razed the city center to the ground. More than 140,000 people were reported dead and their whereabouts unknown, and 300,000 houses were destroyed. A city restoration program was planned after the earthquake, but only a small portion of it was realized because the cost of the project exceeded the national budget. Shortly after the Great Kanto Earthquake, the Showa Era began in darkness. Even so, Japan's first subway opened between Asakusa and Ueno in 1927.
The first election for members of the national House of Representatives was held in 1928, Tokyo Airport at Haneda was completed in 1931, and the Port of Tokyo opened in 1941. By 1935, the number of people living in Tokyo had grown to 6.36 million, matching the populations of New York and London. However, the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941 had a huge impact on Tokyo. In order to adapt to the needs of the war, the dual administrative structure that had existed in Tokyo, Tokyo Prefecture and Tokyo City, was abolished, and in 1943 the prefectures and cities were merged to form the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. As a result, a metropolitan administrative system was established and a chief executive was appointed. At the end of World War II, Tokyo was bombed 102 times, with the most serious raid occurring on March 10, 1945, after which the city suffered great loss of life and property. on August 15, 1945, Japan accepted the terms of the Potsdam Proclamation and the war ended. Much of Tokyo was in ruins after the bombing, and by October 1945, the population had dropped to 3.49 million, half of its 1940 level. In May 1947, Japan's new constitution and local autonomy law came into effect, and by public vote Seiichiro Yasui was elected the first governor of Tokyo under the new system. In August of the same year, the current 23-ward system began. The 1950s were a period of gradual national recovery, with television broadcasting starting in 1953 and Japan joining the United Nations in 1956. Especially with the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, the special needs boom enabled the economy to flourish. This led to a period of rapid economic growth in the 1960s. As a result of technological innovation and the introduction of new industrial technologies, the daily lives of Tokyo residents were transformed by the mass production of synthetic fibers and household appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, and washing machines; the population of Tokyo exceeded 10 million in 1962, and in 1964, the Olympic Games were held in Tokyo, the Shinkansen (high-speed trains) began to run, and the Metropolitan Expressway was opened, creating a new era of prosperity for Tokyo. highway opened, laying the foundation for the prosperity that Tokyo enjoys today. As the 1970s progressed, the negative effects of rapid economic growth began to become increasingly apparent, and the country began to be plagued by environmental problems such as air and water pollution, high levels of noise pollution, etc. The 1973 Oil Crisis began to bring years of rapid economic growth to a standstill. By the 1980s, Tokyo took a new step in economic development due to increased international economic activity and the emergence of the information society. Tokyo became one of the world's leading metropolises and boasted many attractions, such as state-of-the-art technology, information, culture and fashion, and a high degree of public **** security. However, these rapid developments led to a series of urban problems such as declining environmental standards, traffic congestion, and poorly prepared disaster relief supplies, and after 1986, land and stock prices began to spiral upward in what is known as the "Bubble Economy" phenomenon. Japan enjoyed tremendous growth under the bubble economy, but with the bursting of the bubble in the early 1990s, the prolonged economic depression led to a decline in tax revenues, resulting in a fiscal crisis for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Entering the twenty-first century, Tokyo is now at a turning point in its history. Through the implementation of a wide range of pioneering policies, Tokyo is striving to overcome the crisis it has faced, and to make Tokyo the attractive city that it should be.
VII. Demographic Profile
The population, similar to that of the Special Administrative Region, is showing a slight increase. Nearly 4.06 million - population density of about 3,501 people per square kilometer - September 1, 2005 Due to its proximity to the Special Zone, this area is urbanized. However, it also has a good natural environment such as waterfront areas and green belts. What's more, due to the concentration of colleges and universities, high-tech industries, and research institutes, it has brought about strong industrial capacity and abundant human resources, making this region an area with various development potentials. The Tama area is playing an increasingly important role not only in the Tokyo metropolitan area, but also in the entire Tokyo region. At the same time, however, it is facing problems such as urbanization infrastructure, including roads and railroads, which have not kept pace with the times, and ecological degradation caused by development. The total area of the island region is about 406 square kilometers, and the island's population has been declining steadily, and currently stands at about 26,000 people (as of September 1, 2005), with a population density of about 65 people per square kilometer.
The area has a favorable natural environment and is rich in mineral resources. However, the island is small, geographically isolated, and economically weak, and faces the daunting task of improving living conditions through the development of mining, air transportation, and health care. With the accelerated departure of young people from the island and the aging of the population, there is a shortage of laborers to work in agriculture and fisheries, which are the backbone of the island's economy. Tourism development on the island has also been slow due to ongoing problems with transportation and changing tourism needs. Population Overview As of October 1, 2005, the population of Tokyo was estimated to be 12,544,000, about 10% of Japan's total population and the largest among the country's 47 prefectures. With an area of 2,187 square kilometers, the Tokyo area accounts for 0.6% of the country's total area. It ranks 45th among Japan's 47 prefectures. With a population density of 5,736 people per square kilometer, Tokyo is the most densely populated of all Japanese jurisdictions. There are 8,457,000 people in the 23 wards***, 4,061,000 in the Tama region, and 26,000 in the islands. There are 5,886,000 households in Tokyo, with an average of 2.14 people per household. As of October 1, 2005, there were 360,000 registered foreign residents, which is more than 1.4 times the total number of ten years ago. Population Dynamics In 2004, the total number of people moving between Tokyo and other prefectures was approximately 795,000, with 433,000 people moving into Tokyo, while at the same time, 362,000 people moved out of the city, resulting in a net increase of 72,000 people in society. With the exception of 1985, there has been a general downward trend in population since 1967, until 1997, 12 years later.
In 2004, population growth was again shown. Look again at the population movement between Tokyo and the three neighboring prefectures (Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa): 202,000 people moved into Tokyo and 188,000 people moved out. This constitutes a total of 390,000 people, or 49.1% of the total mobile population, resulting in a net social increase of 14,000 people. 104,000 births and 89,000 deaths occurred in 2004, a natural increase of 11,000 people, but this increase has been decreasing since 1968, when it peaked at 182,000 people.
The age composition of the population is based on the January 1, 2005 Basic Resident Register, which lists 12,161,000 Tokyo residents. This figure is divided into three age groups: 1,446,000 young people (0-14 years old); 8,539,000 people of working age (15-64 years old); and 2,176,000 people who are aging (65 years old or older). These numbers constitute 11.9%, 70.2%, and 17.9%. The proportion of the aging population exceeded the United Nations standard for an "aging country" (7%) in 1978, and has been increasing at an accelerating rate since then, exceeding the standard for an "aging society" (14%) in 1998. As of October 1, 2000, there were 10,596,000 people over the age of 15 and the total labor force was 6.47 million, of which 6,158,000 were employed and 312,000 were unemployed. Industrial Structure Demographics According to the results of the 2000 National Census, employed persons were divided into three industrial sectors, of which 27,000 (0.4%) were engaged in the primary sector of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries; 1,383,000 (22.5%) were employed in the secondary sector of mining, construction, and manufacturing; and 4,573,000 ( 74.2%).
Occupational demographics According to the 2000 National Census, employed persons were divided into four occupational sectors: 28,000 persons (0.5%) were engaged in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries; 1,481,000 persons (24%) were engaged in manufacturing and transportation-related occupations; 1,798,000 persons (29.2%) were engaged in retail service-related occupations; and 2,851,000 persons (46.3%) were engaged in clerical, technical, and managerial occupations. management jobs. Daytime and Nighttime Population According to the 2000 National Census, Tokyo's daytime population is 14,667,000, which is 2,650,000 more than the nighttime population of 12,017,000, and the daytime population is more than 1.2 times the nighttime population. With a nighttime population index of 100, the daytime population index would be 122. This difference is caused by commuting students and wage earners, and the population from the three neighboring prefectures (Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa) makes up the daytime flow. The daytime population breaks down the geographic boundaries, with 11,125,000 people in the Special Area, 3,154,000 in the Tama Area, and 28,000 in the Island Area. The indices of daytime population in these three districts are 137, 90, and 101, respectively. The population index of the Special Ward is obviously high, and it is even more obvious that the nighttime number of people in the three core districts of Tokyo - Chiyoda, Chuo Ward, and Minato Ward - is 268,000, and the daytime number is 2,341,000, whose daytime number is more than eight times as much as that of the nighttime number. Looking at the changes in the Tokyo metropolitan area since 1965, the nighttime population has increased by 1.15 million (10.6%) and the daytime population by 2.92 million (24.8%) up to 2000, creating a great imbalance.
Educational Institutions
The University of Tokyo, Waseda University, Keio University, and Gakushuin University are the top institutions of higher education in Asia, as well as Gakushuin University, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Tokyo University of Agriculture, Tokyo University of the Arts, Tokyo Institute of Technology, and Tokyo University of Science, Tokyo Women's University, Tokyo Medical University. Tokyo University of Science, Tokyo Women's University, Tokyo Medical University, and other prestigious universities.
History of Kyoto
Kyoto became the capital of Japan in 794 and was called "Heian-kyo". It has a history of 1,200 years. Since its construction, it has changed a lot after being baptized by numerous historical storms. However, it has contributed greatly to the development of industry, economy, and culture by introducing the most advanced technological equipment of our time. Until now, it also shows the ancient but not old style.
At the same time, Kyoto has preserved its historical and cultural heritage of more than a thousand years. The existence of ancient-style houses and buildings, including temples and shrines, is a testimony to the history of the city. Various festivals and exquisite craftsmanship show the will of the people to inherit and develop. Ancient Kyoto was a huge city. It was about 5.2km from north to south and 4.7km from east to west, and was divided into two districts, Sokyo and Ukyo, with Jukyo-Oji as the center (width of about 85m), and had a maximum of 150,000 inhabitants. There are state-run markets in each of the two districts, which store a wide variety of products from all over the country. Handicrafts are also operated directly by the government. It is also home to a large number of highly skilled people.
In the northern part of the old capital, there is the Imperial residence of the Emperor and the government offices. It was the center of Japanese politics. The Emperor was the head of the government, and the nobles, officials, and samurai all lived here. The surrounding area is home to the official residences of government officials, and the mansions are well organized to form a street of official residences.
"Willows are planted interspersed with cherry blossoms like a brocade." The capital itself has the landscape of Japan's most prosperous period, after 200 years in the middle of the 10th century, a huge change - the right Kyoto because it is a swamp, unsuitable for habitation, the population gradually declined, and thus it lost the color of the urban style, back to the past rural scene. The population gradually concentrated in the Sogyeong area and crossed the castle border, and the area to the east of the Kamogawa River, and even to the north, grew tremendously.
However, "Heian-kyo" was not able to maintain its uniformity, and between the 11th and 12th centuries, Heian-kyo was given a new name, Kyoto.
The name Kyoto was fixed at the beginning of the Middle Ages. The weakness of the imperial court contributed to the birth of the samurai regime. Kyoto as the capital of a country also became famous. The town of Otsuka, east of the Kamogawa River, became the base of the samurai regime, and a new urban landscape was formed in the Higashiyama area.
History is not so simple. In the Middle Ages, Kyoto became the center of the rise of the new Buddhism, and many temples were built in the foothills of Kitayama, Higashiyama, and Nishiyama. In principle, no other temples were allowed in Heian-kyo than the Toji and Saiji, but they were built with the support of the citizens, and in the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, as the times progressed, Kyoto, as a religious and cultural metropolis, was given a new landscape and a new character unique to the city.
In medieval Kyoto, citizens were very active. In the past, most of the merchants and workers engaged in state-run industries, the decline of the industry at any time, was forced to become independent, and set up their own "seat" - **** with the combination, in order to protect the rights and interests of the business, the former generation of the above industries, so that the industrial economy has been the development of the unprecedented. This momentum also affected the administration and culture. The realization of the city's sense of ****samune is faithfully reflected in the Gion Festival. At the same time, Kyoto developed into the largest city in Japan as a commercial and industrial city.
However, the city, which was built with great difficulty, suffered a devastating blow during the 11 years of the second half of the 15th century due to the civil unrest - Einin, the Great Rebellion of Civilization. It took nearly 500 years for the city to recover. Even so, it was impossible to go back to the way it was before. The whole of Kyoto was divided into two districts, and between the two districts, there is an idyllic area of about 2 kilometers.
This urban landscape lasted for about a century. After the unification of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Kyoto was fundamentally remodeled. First of all, the gap between the two districts was filled in, and the whole Kyoto was restored and integrated in a big way through a master plan. For the first time since the founding of Kyoto, earthen dwellings were built in the surrounding areas. In the center, the Imperial Palace, the residence of the Emperor, was built. The newly built Jurakuchi (the name of the palace) was splendid.
Thus, Kyoto began to enter the modern era. The Toyotomi regime, followed by the Tokugawa regime, led to a remarkable revival of shrines and temples, and the city regained the appearance of a religious and cultural metropolis that had existed since the Middle Ages. The character of an industrial city was also restored, and the Nishijin area, especially at the end of the 17th century, became a world-renowned textile area.
However, this was not a long-lasting development, and the three great fires of the 18th and 19th centuries, namely the Hoei, Tenmei, and Genji fires, caused great damage to Kyoto. The people of Kyoto were active in restoring the city, and the recovery from the Genji fires continued into the Meiji period.
Kyoto, which was taken away from the capital in the Edo period, was restored to the capital in the early Meiji period. But for political reasons, the capital was moved back to Tokyo again. Protest marches by Kyoto citizens did not stop the Emperor from relocating. The past royal nobles, powerful citizens, also moved away one after another.
Kyoto was in a crisis and lost its prosperity. But the people of Kyoto, with an uncompromising spirit, made every effort to rebuild the ruins after the fire. In the midst of the criticism from all sides, the people of Kyoto still made bold reforms, such as the water conservancy of Lake Biwa for the transportation of energy and the securing of water resources, the technological innovation of the Nishijin textile industry, and the construction of new factories, and so on, and they moved forward.
The fourth "National Persuasive Expo" was held in the 28th year of the Meiji era to commemorate the 1100th year of moving the capital based on the grand idea of the 100-year construction. After the 37th year of the Meiji era, the will to innovate was further carried out, and the "Three Great Projects" were started in the 20th century. The government invested huge sums of money in these endeavors, which lasted for 10 years. This enabled Kyoto to receive a real sense of the modernization of the great transformation.
Modern Kyoto survived the Second World War and developed in many ways. It has produced world-renowned academic institutions, cutting-edge industries, and has become a famous cultural heritage site.
However, the people of Kyoto have not been complacent, and have evolved with the times. Without this, a metropolis of 1200 years would have been lost forever in the fire of history.
Kyoto is not a "museum" city, but a historical city.
Kyoto is not a "museum" city, it is a historical city.
