Writing in Tokyo is demonstrated in a lot of different ways. One example is road/ street signs.  Most road signs include symbols. One unique thing is that the Street name signs include their language.  Many signs include English. They just recently did this because with the 2020 Olympics they knew they would have a lot of tourists that spoke English.

Job specialization

 Factory work is very popular in Tokyo. The most visited factory is the Instant Ramen. You are able to go there and make Ramen from scratch in a 90-minute workshop for only 500 yen ($4.38). 

 Well organized cities

Tokyo is a very compact city.  Their housing is very close to one another. The structures of their buildings are more narrow but tall.  Tokyo buildings tend to have many windows. Tokyo has recently made it to where the new houses are made that they are built on earthquake-safe ground to eliminate the amount of damage done. Japan wanted it to make it where everyone you look there is some sort of nature. 

Well organized cities p.2

Tokyo is a metropolitan prefecture made up of special wards and municipalities. The central area is divided into 23 special wards.

Organized government

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is known as Tocho.  This governs wards, cities, towns, and villages. Japan doesn’t have states or provinces. Japan is not a federal system but a unitary state with a two-tier local government system. There are 47 prefectures in Japan. Their government age restriction on things is 20 there instead of what we have here which is 18.
