Explanation and Etymology - (都会) tokai

都会 (とかい) is a Japanese word meaning "big city" or "metropolis". The word is made up of two Kanji: 都 (to) which means "capital" or "city" and 会 (kai) which means "meeting" or "meeting". The etymological origin of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the city of Kyoto was established as the capital of Japan. Since then, the word 都会 has been used to refer to large cities in general. The word is often used as opposed to the word 田舎 (inaka), which means "field" or "rural area".
