TOKYO
·
The environs of Tokyo are very picturesque and offer a great variety of
of pleasant walks or rides. Foreigners will find much to interest them, in the country round. The finest scenery is at the northern and western sides of the city, where the country is surrounded by beautiful hills, from which there is a distant view of the noble mountains of Hakone, while beyond rises in solitary grandeur the towering peak of Fuji-san covered with snow the greater part of the year. The population of Tokyo as disclosed by the Census of 1920 is 2,173,162.

The native Press is represented by some twenty daily papers, and many monthly and fortnightly publications. There is a daily paper run by Japanese in the English language called the Japan Times, which is representative of Japanese interests, and the Japan Advertiser and Japan Mail, which had been published for many years in Yoko- hama, are now published in the capital. The Far East, a weekly illustrated newspaper, British owned, and a magazine entitled The New East are published in Tokyo. There are 1,225 schools of different classes, including several universities, as distinct from the Imperial, or official. Three large and handsome hotels designed for foreigners, the Tokyo Station Hotel, Imperial Hotel and Seiyoken, cater to tourist needs. All are under Japanese management. A fourth foreign hotel, the Central, is under foreign management.
