The Tokyo accent, known as Tokyo-ben, is a dialect of the Japanese language spoken primarily in the Kanto region, particularly in Tokyo. It is characterized by its clear pronunciation and relatively neutral tone, making it widely understood across Japan. The accent features specific intonations and vocabulary that distinguish it from other regional dialects. In addition to its clarity, the Tokyo accent often serves as a standard for Japanese media, education, and business communication. Many people from other regions may adapt their speech to sound more like the Tokyo accent when moving to the city, as it is associated with modernity and urban culture.
