Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the largest city in the world by population, with over 37 million people in the greater Tokyo area.

The Japanese are known for their love of vending machines, which can be found on nearly every street corner and sell everything from snacks to underwear.

The first novel ever written, The Tale of Genji, was written in Japan in the 11th century by a noblewoman named Murasaki Shikibu.
