Emperor Meiji was brought from Kyoto to lead the Meiji Restoration, which formed a new imperial government. The population reached two million in 1905. Tokyo's population continued to grow from 3.7 million in 1920, when the first census was taken, to 4,48 million in 1925. In 1923, the Great Kanto earthquake caused 75% of all buildings suffered severe structural damage. Although 2% to 3% of the population were killed the population still grew. The Population reached 7.35 million in 1940, but fell during World War II to 3.49 million in 1945.

Migration boom

In the postwar era and an increase in the number of births due to the first baby boom, the population rapidly increased from 3.49 million to 6.28 million between 1945 and 1950, and continued to grow thereafter, although the rate of increase slowed, until it reached 11.67 million in 1975. The population remained almost flat from 1975 to 1995, but then began to increase, reaching 13.16 million in 2010.

Internal migration to Tokyo has steadily increased since 2022 following a brief slowdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. The trend resumed after the pandemic.

Vital statistics

Population of Tokyo, 1872-2016

The number of births in Tokyo peaked in the post-war period at 240,000 in 1967, remaining at around 230,000 until 1973, after which it began to decline, remaining at around 100,000 since 1989. Meanwhile, the number of deaths has been on a gradual increase since 1956, reaching a post-war high of 110,000 in 2013. Looking at the trends in natural increase/decrease (births - deaths), with the exception of 1945, the number of births has consistently exceeded the number of deaths since 1920, but the natural increase has shrunk since peaking in 1967, and in 2012 the number of deaths exceeded the number of births for the first time since the war.
