Capital of New Zealand and Japan

Population

Our group is researching about capital of New Zealand and Japan. New Zealand's biggest city is Auckland. But capital city is Wellington. It is interesting, isn't it? And I will research some differences between Wellington and Tokyo. And I researched about population.
First I will show about Wellington. Now Wellington's population is 381,900. Now Wellington has this big population. But when Wellington become capital city of New Zealand, Wellington's population was 4,900 people. It wasn't big population. Because of this, before Welington become capital city Auckland was capital city. I think Wellington didn't done preparation for become a capital city. But Wellington is on the middle of New Zealand. So Wellington become a capital city.
You can see red point on the map. This is the Welington.




And then I will tell you about Tokyo. Now Tokyo's population is 12,790,000. This is so big number I think. And you know Tokyo has special 23 wards. These wards population is 8,652,700. So Tokyo's population is including this wards population also. And many people come to Tokyo from other prefecture which next to the Tokyo. So Tokyo's population is change at daytime and nighttime.
