Shibuya, Shinjuku, Akihabara — 50 questions on the world's largest metro
Shinjuku Station handles over 3.6 million passengers per day — the busiest train station in the world by far, more than triple New York's Times Square subway. Tokyo (東京 'Eastern Capital') is the world's largest metropolitan area in human history, home to roughly 37 million people in the Greater Tokyo region. Originally the shogun's seat as Edo, the city was renamed in 1868 with the Meiji Restoration, rebuilt twice in the 20th century after the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake and 1945 firebombing, and now hosts the world's tallest tower (Tokyo Skytree, 634 m), the busiest pedestrian crossing (Shibuya Scramble), and the densest train network in the world.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.

Shinjuku Station in Tokyo is by far the busiest train station in the world, handling over 3.6 million passengers per day across its 200+ exits and dozens of train lines (JR, Tokyo Metro, Toei, Keio, Odakyu, and the Yurakucho line). It holds the Guinness World Record for the busiest station on the planet.
The city was renamed from Edo to Tokyo (meaning 'Eastern Capital') in 1868, at the start of the Meiji Restoration. The young Emperor Meiji moved the imperial residence from Kyoto to Edo Castle, transforming the centuries-old shogunal city into Japan's official capital.
Tokyo Metropolis (Tōkyō-to) has a population of approximately 14 million people, while the wider Greater Tokyo Area is home to around 37 million — making it by far the world's largest metropolitan region. The 23 Special Wards at the centre of the city contain about 9.7 million residents.
