Hi,
Nerima-Ku is about 15 Km or so from the Imperial
Palace
which roughly defines the center of Tokyo. The
Tokyo-Yokohama
metro area contains about twenty three million people.
 Tange Kenzo,
(Japanese architect who designed many of it's
buildings) called Tokyo
"the ugliest city in the world". 

Below I have included URL's for clickable maps of
Tokyo, Japan and other
Asian cities, cultural and language resources plus
links to LIVE-CAM's
placed around Tokyo. Some of these may be controlled
from your PC
allowing you to pan, zoom etc.

Tokyo is one of the largest cities in the world. Tokyo
tower, resembling the Eiffel tower, at 1,090 feet
 is 100 feet taller.

I'm starting to write another Ranma fic, an action
one (yeah I know I
probably shouldn't but it's been so long since I
worked on my other Ranma
stuff I'm having a bit of trouble diving back into
them).

What I'd like to know, is that in the 'main' part of
Tokyo, is it kind of
like filled with sky-scrapers and tall buildings and
stuff? You know, like a
city like New York city or something where you see
massive buildings
everywhere and lots of roads and cars on the bottom.

Sorry if I sound so ignorant, but I really need to
know if Tokyo is like
that. Nerima is supposedly in Tokyo but I haven't
seen anything resembling
like a big city in the series so I don't know ...

Or if it isn't, can someone explain the general
urban layout?

Thanks to anyone who can help,
