Question

In japan do japanese spell toyko like tokyo or tokio? how is it spelled in japan?

Answer 1

Welcome to the wonderful world of japanese romanization.

It all depends on the romanization system you use:

Hepburn: tōkyō

Kunreishiki: tôkyô

Common use: tokyo (just dropping diacritics)

Officially Japanese are taught to use Kunreishiki, but in common practice Hepburn is most commonly used, even in government publications.

Answer 2

東京都   =  Tokyo Metropolis (formal name)  Tōkyō-to

Answer 3

Tokio Hotel has nothing to do with anything Japanese, if that's your implication.

Answer 4

"Tokyo" is correct.

Answer 5

You only type Tokio if you're trying to be cute or if you don't have a brain. Besides those two reasons, it's ALWAYS spelled Tokyo.

Oh and first girl to answer, Bre, You're typing in Romaji. =/

Answer 6

..its tokyo...

I don't have romaji on my computer or I'd show you.

to-kyo.
