 Tokyo has a long and rich history that dates back to the 12th
century, when it was known as Edo. The city grew in importance
during the Edo period (1603-1868), when it became the seat of the
Tokugawa shogunate. During this time, Edo grew into one of the
largest cities in the world, with a population of over a million people.

In 1868, the shogunate was overthrown, and the capital of Japan

was moved from Kyoto to Edo, which was renamed Tokyo (meaning
"Eastern Capital").

Metropolitan
Governor Yuriko Koike , born 15 July

1952) is a Japanese politician who

currently serves as the Governor of Tokyo
Ward- A ward in Tokyo refers to a local government area within the
city.There are 23 special wards in Tokyo, each of which has its own
elected ward council and mayor.

District- Each ward is further divided into smaller districts, which are
responsible for providing even more localized services such as
garbage collection and street cleaning.
16
 TMG and the Municipalities
In addition to the 23 special wards mentioned above, the Tokyo Metropolis also
contains 39 municipalities—26 cities (shi), 5 towns (machi) and 8 villages (mura)
—that are ordinary local public entities. The administrative and financial systems
for the metropolitan government and its municipalities are the same as those for
other prefectures. The government and its individual municipalities work on equal
footing in performing their respective functions: the former handling the broader
administrative work and the latter providing services closer to the everyday lives
of local residents. This integrated process is distinguished by the following
17
elements.
Decentralization
TMG organizes this so called decentralization. This refers to the process of devolving
power and decision-making authority from the central government to local authorities,
such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the special wards. In addition to special
wards, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has also established a number of other
decentralization initiatives, such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly and the Tokyo
Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation.

1. Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly- is the legislative body of the Tokyo Metropolitan

Government.
2. Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation- is responsible for managing the city's
transportation infrastructure.
