what kind of agriculture does tokyo japan?

Answer 1

I don't think there are too many farms in downtown Tokyo.

Answer 2

There might not be many 'farms' in Tokyo city, but in Tokyo prefecture there is plenty of agriculture!

These things aren't necessarily BIG ... this isn't America after all!!

I live in a large housing estate - full of blocks of flats - on the outskirts of Tokyo prefecture, a 20 minute cycle from the busy local city, 14 minutes cycle from the almost as busy local town, and with loads of residential buildings and shops around, plus not a few industrial areas! Yet I KNOW, off-hand, of 12 decent sized agricultural plots, all of which sell to either the general public AND the local shops, or just the local shops!! Most of them just grow various vegetables - at first I thought they were giant allotments..! But they DO supply greengrocers all over the area... which is very nice!
: )

There aren't many rice fields around here, and tea is mostly grown further South than Tokyo. Cows take up too much space, sheep live in Australia for the same reason..! There are probably chicken farms around, but I've not come across one in my area.

So, I'd say that vegetables are the main agricultural product of the Tokyo area, and that applies whether you meant the city itself or the prefecture.

Oh yeah - Michinoku just reminded me that there's a shiitake-farm (if farm is the right word!?!) halfway up our local 'mountain'!

Answer 3

There are actually a suprising number of cultivated plots in Tokyo. Agricultural land is taxed less than unimproved lots, so land held on spec tends to be leased to urban farmers. There are also a lot of mushroom and bean sprout growing operations in Tokyo.
