What is the capital of Japan?

Capital cities are the political and administrative centers where a country’s government sits and national institutions are based. For Japan, that central hub is Tokyo, the city that houses the government and major national institutions and has served as the capital since the Meiji Restoration era when power moved from Kyoto to Edo, which became Tokyo. The other cities mentioned—Nairobi, Pristina, and Amman—are capitals of Kenya, Kosovo, and Jordan respectively. So Tokyo is the correct answer.
