Tokyo is the capital of the country Japan.
History[]
After Proteus was hit in the head with a paperweight, he retaliated by blasting Janine Melnitz and Kylie Griffin. They found themselves in Tokyo's Ginza Ward near the San-Ai Building. They eventually made their way to the Embassy of the United States in Tokyo and met with an official. The official cautioned them there would be paperwork but the embassy would get them home as soon as possible. She also mentioned the Japanese government would also be making sure their arrival didn't aggravate any of the local ghosts. Janine was fine with it and promised if something bad happened, she would send in Ghostbusters to clean the mess up. No one noticed a Yurei in the office with them. They spent three days filling out government forms and did no sightseeing at all.
