  Tokyo - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Tokyo as an administrative region, known as Tōkyō-to 東京都 or "Tokyo Metropolis", is one of 47 prefectures of Japan and is not administered as a single city.
Tokyo was already the nation's political, economic, and cultural center, and the emperor's residence made it a de facto imperial capital as well with the former Edo Castle becoming the Imperial Palace.
The city of Tokyo was established, and continued to be the capital until it was abolished as a municipality in 1943 and merged with the "Metropolitan Prefecture" of Tokyo.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is now looking into extending and improving the urban expressways separated from ordinary roads and streets, taking into account the need to ensure harmony with environment along the roads, in order to maintain urban functions and to cope with the increasing demands of road traffic.
In Tokyo where the density of traffic is high and the use of land is exhaustive, it is necessary to enhance public transportation services and promote their use by improving the networks of routes.
For this reason, it is necessary to enhance the convenience of railways and alleviate the congestion of trains with commuters and reducing the time of transit by railways by expanding and improving the railway network.

  Yurikamome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Transit Yurikamome (新交通ゆりかもめ Shinkōtsū Yurikamome) is an automated guideway transit service operated by the Tokyo Waterfront New Transit Corporation, connecting Shinbashi to Ariake on the artificial island of Odaiba in Tokyo, Japan, a market in which it competes with the cheaper but less glamorous Tokyo Waterfront Railway (Rinkai Line).
However, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government was for once on the ball, and in 1996 Odaiba was rezoned from pure business and residential to also permit entertainment zones.
Tokyo may be next to the sea on the map, but before Odaiba, effectively the entire coastline had been taken over by an endless concrete strip of ports and warehouses.
