Technically Tokyo only has a population of
8.34 million people, but the greater area of Tokyo
(continuous urban areas) includes a total of 12.369 million. The issue
of determining Tokyo's population is further complicated by
Yokohama. There is now continuous
urban land use between Tokyo and
Yokohama, such that Yokohama
could really be considered a "suburb of Tokyo".
The satellite image
below gives you some idea of the size of Tokyo's population, but this
image does not include all of the urban areas of greater Tokyo. For
further information see Tokyo Japan Map.
