Tokyo has been described as one of the three "command centers" for the world economy, along with New York City and London. The city hosts 51 of the Fortune Global 500 companies, the highest number of any city. The prefecture is part of the world's most populous metropolitan area with upwards of 35 million people and the world's largest urban agglomeration economy with a GDP of US$1.479 trillion at purchasing power parity, ahead of the New York metropolitan area in 2008. The population of the special wards is over 9 million people, with the total population of the prefecture exceeding 13 million. The metropolitan government also administers 39 municipalities in the western part of the prefecture and the two outlying island chains. The Tokyo metropolitan government administers the 23 Special Wards of Tokyo (each governed as an individual city), which cover the area that was formerly the City of Tokyo before it merged and became the subsequent metropolitan prefecture. Tokyo is often thought of as a city but is commonly referred to as a "metropolitan prefecture".

Tokyo is in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands.
