Does metropolitan = urban in this context?

We could use a different translation for 都.
The note isn't essential. I just thought it might be helpful to explain why the term is historical.

I think the note assumes too much knowledge of Japan's prefectural system. I think most would take "metropolis" here to refer to the dictionary definition of that word rather than 都. I think the entry doesn't need a note.

Yes, we could do with a "hist" tag.
