Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is one of the largest cities of the world with a population of 12.64 million and is the biggest of the 47 prefectures throughout Japan. Its long history of prosperity started with the establishment of the Shogunate by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1603. At that time, Tokyo was called Edo, which by the 18th century had grown to a huge city of over a million people. It is now Japan's center for political, economic, cultural, and various other activities as well as the origin for the dissemination of information.
Many Japanese in Tokyo speak English and you shouldn't have too much trouble getting around, but you can have a lot more fun if you can speak a little bit of the language. Japanese will really appreciate the effort you make and are very patient with foreigners learning Japanese.
