Tokyo is a reoccurring location in the Megami Tensei franchise, and is the capital city of Japan. It serves as a primary setting across many titles, tending to be at the forefront of calamity or other supernatural phenomena.
Giten Megami Tensei: Tokyo Revelation has a 1:1 recreation of real life Tokyo, and the game takes place in Hatsudai during its beginning, but then takes on a full scale journey throughout the entirety of Tokyo, going from Ikebukuro to go all the way down to Ariake and Ebisu. The city is also ruled over by Bael the Tyrant, although Shibuya is protected by angels so it is one of the few districts not over his control.
Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal take place entirely in Tokyo, with the exception of flashbacks and a school trip to Hawaii. The protagonist moves to the fictional area of Yongen-Jaya and attends school in Aoyama-Itchome. Initially, the only available areas to explore are Yongen-Jaya, Aoyama-Itchome, and Shibuya. By progressing the plot, spending time with Confidants, and reading books, more locations and hangout areas become available across the metropolis. Eventual locations to visit include Shinjuku, Kichijoji, Akihabara and Odaiba, among many others.
Devil Survivor and Devil Survivor: Overclocked take place within Tokyo's Yamanote Line. Most locations in the games are based on actual places in the city, although some, like Eikokuji, are fictionalized versions of them. The location in-game simply called "Tokyo" is based on the real Hibiya Park and its open-air concert venue.

Trivia
According to Kōji Okada, Tokyo was chosen as the setting of Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II because he believed it to be the city which has changed the most in the world, in just the past few hundred years having undergone destruction several times and always recovering. Specific events he mentions are the Meiji Restoration, the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, and the bombings of Tokyo during World War II.[1]
