      They also claim, like, so many of the “oldest people in the world”.

          While yes, most of the world’s oldest people generally don’t live in cities, what’s your beef with Tokyo specifically? You make it sound like a death city.

            It’s just that over 90% (i think) 30% of Japans population lives there. So the claim that they have the oldest people in the world makes it funny when most of their population lives in a city that is probably not that healthy to live in.

            I mean Tokyo is probably the best Mega city on the planet so it ain’t that bad for sure.

              Ok but Google says that 10% of Japanese live in Tokyo, which is still massive but 90% is a ridiculous stretch

                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.
