The entire surface area of Japan is equal to the state of Montana. 75% of Japan's land is mountainous thus, majority live on the remaining 25%. Japan's population is roughly half of the entire US including Hawaii and Alaska. 10% of that population live in Tokyo.

I would love to visit Tokyo before I die. Isn't there one district over there that's real popular with tourists buying electronics in? I can't think of the name. |

Ah, you speak of Akihabara, aka Akiba. There's a new ginormous electronic mall that opened there which I have not had the chance to visit yet. The place is ridiculous. If you ever make it there, may I suggest leaving your credit card and traveler's checks in your hotel room. You will definitely go broke.
