    Tokyo is located near the plate boundaries between the Eurasian, Philippine, and Pacific plates.

    Explanation:

    Tokyo, the capital of Japan, and biggest city in the world, is located in a highly geologically active area, which is not good by any means, as large scale disaster can struck at any moment. The reason as to why this is such a risky area is that three plates have boundaries and interact between each other, causing all sorts of geological activity.

    The plates that have boundaries here are the Eurasian, Philippine, and Pacific plates. The Eurasian plate is continental, while the Philippine and Pacific are oceanic plates. Both the Pacific and Philippine plates are subducting below the Eurasian plate, and the Pacific is also subducting below the Philippine plate as well. The subduction zones cause intense volcanic activity, emergence of new volcanic islands, oceanic trenches, and multiple earthquakes every day.
