    Maybe he’s referring to the greater Tokyo Metropolitan area? Sounds more plausible at least since it’s absolutely massive. Def not for just Tokyo city.

      The Greater Tokyo Metropolitan area has a population of 37 million while the country has a population of 125.7 million. While an impressively large percentage, it’s still less than a third (29.4%) of the population of Japan proper.

        Fair enough and also insane. Shout out to their public transit there. I stayed there for a couple weeks and it was amazing how easy it was for me to do whatever I wanted without worrying about how to get to places.

        Ok I was too lazy to look it up but just remembered that Tokyo had a big part of the population.
