Tokyo Landsat Image. A guided tour:
- The green circle in the center is the Kokyo (Imperial Palace). The little gray ball in the middle is the palace itself: you can also barely see the Budokan at the top of the palace grounds.
- Tokyo Tower is located in the small park due south of the Kokyo.
- At the bottom of the photo, on the bay, Tokyo International Airport. The third runway was under construction at the time (or maybe it's just discolored).
- The large artificial islands in the bay near central Tokyo is Odaiba.
- The green blotches west of the Kokyo are the Akasaka Palace and Jingu Park: the big blob farther to the west is Yoyogi Park.
- The black spot to the north of Yoyogi Park is West Shinjuku's Skyscraper District.
- The river on the south side of the photo is the Tama River, separating Tokyo from Kanagawa Prefecture. Just south of the large loop in the river is Kawasaki.
- The second river due east of the Palace is the Arakawa, separating Tokyo from Chiba Prefecture.
- Tokyo Disney is on the other side of this river from Tokyo (it's the big greenish-white thing on the artificial peninsula by the bay).
- The northwestern corner of the map is part of Saitama Prefecture, with the cities of Saitama (on the east side of Arakawa) and Kawagoe (on the west side).
- The yellowish-white blobs south of the Tama River in the bottom left of the picture are golf courses.
