Just a few days ago I told my children that Tokyo is the largest city in the world.
Dad needs to keep up with the times!

TBH the distinction is meaningless when different cities are so close together that you can’t tell exactly in which one you are at any given time.
Brooklyn originally wasn’t technically part of New York.
The main indicator you’re in a different city in Tokyo are the signs that public smoking is banned in the city you just arrived at. Everything else is basically the same.
Yeah, i think metro areas make more sense for many things. There’s the 23ku, but also the rest of (non-marintime) Tokyo pref., much of kanagawa pref., and parts of Chiba and Saitama prefs.
The daytime population of the 23ku is crazy, but not everyone lives therein.
It’s bizarre to think of a city with the population of Canada.
