Is 東京圏 an actual administrative district like a 県. A quick jaunt to a

I'm still not certain if 圏 is comparable to 県.

I've never really thought of Chiba, Saitama and Kanagawa as being Tokyo.

As others already responded, you are right. It is just an expression for when you want to include a little more than Tokyo, the greater Tokyo (thanks Stephen for correcting me :)).
