Tokyo is located in the middle of Japan along the pacific coast of Japn's main island, Honshu. The site of the city is very interesting and diverse. The inland part of Tokyo is on elevated land and the area of city near the bay is on low-lying land. Tokyo is split up into 23 different wards each governed as their own city. The mainland portion of Tokyo measures around 90km east to west and 25km from north to south.



Tokyo has many outlying islands, as far away as 1850km from central tokyo. The Izu Islands are a group of volcanic islands and form part of the Fuji-hakone-Izu Natioinal park. The islands in order from closest to Tokyo are Izu Oshima, Toshimia, Niijima, Shikinejima, Kozushima, Miyakejima, Mikurajima, Hachijojima, and Aogashima.
