      Something to keep in mind: there is no such entity as "the City of Tokyo"

      Instead of states, Japan has the "Todofuken:" 43 prefectures (ken), 1 "circuit" (do), 2 urban prefectures (fu), and 1 metropolis (to).

      Kyoto and Osaka are the urban prefectures, Tokyo is the metropolis. The difference between "urban prefecture" and "metropolis..."

      ...is that Kyoto and Osaka are cities within their prefectures; outside their borders are other cities, towns, villages, districts, etc.

          But in Tokyo Metropolis, there are cities, towns, villages, and districts...but no city called Tokyo.

          Instead, there are 23 "special wards" which make up the area that used to be a city called Tokyo. Each is autonomously governed...

          ...in the same manner that the other cities, towns, and villages in Tokyo-to are. Osaka and Kyoto (and other cities) also have wards, but...

          ...their wards are subordinate to their respective city governments, and their *city* is the autonomous unit w/in Osaka-fu or Kyoto-fu.

          So, this all causes some confusion whenever people talk about "the city of Tokyo" and "Greater Tokyo." Both have various definitions.

          The "City of Tokyo" could refer to just the 23 special wards, or to the Tokyo Metropolis (those wards + other cities, towns, villages).

          "Greater Tokyo" can refer to: - Tokyo + Chiba, Saitama, Kanagawa - The above + Gunma, Tochigi, Ibaraki - The above + Yamanashi

          Those other names all refer to prefectures (ken) adjacent to Tokyo-to. I generally use the broadest definition for transit discussions...

          ...because the rail network that serves Tokyo, on which you can use Tokyo farecards like Pasmo and Suica, encompasses an even larger area

          Specifically: Tokyo, Chiba, Saitama, Kanagawa, Gunma, Tochigi, Ibaraki, Yamanashi, AND lots of Shizuoka

          But even if you're not talking about rail issues, it makes more sense to talk about Greater Tokyo than Tokyo proper...

          ...because Tokyo proper includes some very rural land much further away from downtown than many of its neighboring prefectures
