Japan has many major cities. Many of these cities are crowded into a relatively small area of land along the Pacific coast of Honshū, between Tōkyō and Kōbe. This heavily urbanized strip is known as the Tōkaidō Megalopolis. It is named for the historic highway that connected the cities of Tōkyō and Kyōto, which has now been replaced by expressways and the high-speed Shinkansen railway.
