    		The city of Tokyo (formerly known as Edo) has been the administrative center of Japan since the 17th century, when the country was united under Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tokyo became the capital of Japan only in 1868, when Emperor Meiji moved to the city when it was renamed. Since then, Tokyo has grown and today has one of the largest urban populations in the world.
