translate English to French: The center of Tokyo — the former area reserved for the Shogun and his samurai — lies within the loop, while the Edo-era downtown (下町 shitamachi) is to the north and east. Sprawling around in all directions and blending seamlessly into Yokohama , Kawasaki and Chiba are Tokyo's suburbs.
La mégalopole de Tokyo quant à elle inclut les villes voisines de Kawasaki et Yokohama (deuxième ville du Japon par sa population).
