NOVEMBER's ⁉️ Trivia

[JoGee]

Yesterday's Answer: Tokyo is both the capital and largest city of Japan. The Greater Tokyo Area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world. Formerly known as Edo, it has been the de facto seat of government since 1603 when Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu made the city his headquarters. It officially became the capital after Emperor Meiji moved his seat to the city from the old capital of Kyoto in 1868; at that time Edo was renamed Tokyo.
