 ==== Tokyo is not a city ====
-It is helpful to know that Tokyo is not a city. Tokyo Metropolis consists of 23 special wards, all of which call themselves cities, as well as other cities that aren't special wards. If you arrive in Tokyo, the laws slightly change between ward (like smoking outside). You may be surprised to find that a destination "in Tokyo" is significantly farther away than you expect. For example, Tokyo Disneyland is significantly farther away from Tachikawa City, Tokyo, home to Showa Memorial Park, the largest park by land area in Tokyo.

For example, Tokyo Disneyland is a significant distance away from Tachikawa City, Tokyo, home to Showa Memorial Park, the largest park by land area in Tokyo. Tokyo Disneyland is not, in fact, in Tokyo. It’s in Chiba.
 Also, "Tokyo Narita International Airport" is in Chiba, not Tokyo. It's about 1 hour and 30 minutes away from Tokyo by train. It's also about $150 by taxi to Tokyo from Chiba.
