The Tokyo metropolis was the de facto capital of Japan on Earth.
Tokyo was legally a prefecture that uniquely also provided some of the services characteristic of a city. Its 23 special wards were, administratively, cities in their own right.
The Akihabara district located in the Chiyoda ward of Tokyo was very famous as a high tech district of Japan. (Dragon Ball Z vs. Star Trek: The Way of Infinity)
Tokyo expanded since the 20th century. During the 24th century, Kyoto became a suburb of Tokyo. (Dragon Ball Z vs. Star Trek: The Way of Infinity)
A spaceport is also part of the city. (Dragon Ball Z vs. Star Trek: The Way of Infinity)
More of the inhabitants used maglevs than transporters, even in the 2370s. (Last Unicorn Games RPG: A Cadet's Guide to Sector 001)
