Ontario is 494× the size of Tokyo
Ontario (province of Canada) covers about 1,078,000 km² (416,000 mi²) and Tokyo (metropolis of Japan) about 2,180 km² (843 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

What fits
- Tokyo fits inside Ontario about 494 times by area.
- Ontario is larger by 1,075,000 km² (415,000 mi²), which is 49,256% of the area of Tokyo.
- Measured in Belgiums: Ontario is about 35.1, Tokyo about 0.07.
How they differ
- Ontario is larger, but Tokyo has the larger population: 14.3 million against 14.2 million, 1.00× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 6,534 in Tokyo against 13 in Ontario: Tokyo is 495× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 9,580 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Ontario at 50°N is drawn about 2.4× too large and Tokyo at 35°N about 1.5×, so the map shows Ontario as 799× the size of Tokyo instead of 494×.
- Together Ontario and Tokyo cover 1,080,000 km², close to the size of Bolivia (1,087,000 km², 0.7% bigger).
- The gap between them, 1,075,000 km², is about the size of Bolivia (1,087,000 km²).
- At Tokyo's density, Ontario would have 7.04 billion people (it has 14.2 million). At Ontario's density, Tokyo would have 29,000 (it has 14.3 million).
- Ontario's centre is 14.9° of latitude, about 1,660 km, farther north than Tokyo's.
- Ontario is the 4th largest of the 13 provinces and territories of Canada and covers 11% of its area; it is the 3rd most densely populated of them.
- Tokyo is the 44th largest of the 47 prefectures of Japan and covers 0.6% of its area; it is the most densely populated of them.
- Ontario lies about 15° of latitude (roughly 1,660 km) north of Tokyo.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Ontario would have about 75,760 m² and each person in Tokyo about 150 m².
- Laid side by side, Ontario and Tokyo would cover 1,080,000 km², about the same size as Bolivia.
- Together they have 28.5 million people, about as many people as Cameroon.
- Tokyo is drawn from 173 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain
- Boundary
- De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. A region is drawn whole, every island included; a country is its main territory.
- Area
- Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded.
- Drawing
- Each outline is projected with an equal-area projection centred on its own centroid, so areas stay true and the two can be laid over each other.
