1) Tokyo would too small to see, unless you used a powerful telescope.

2) More importantly, whether the earth is flat or a Globe, the visibility limit even in the clearest atmosphere of a few hundred kilometres.

Coincidentally, I made this post today in a thread about a world distance record photograph over 443 km:

I don't know if you could do this with the Tokyo example.
But I used to experiment with the old Kodak Ektachrome Infra-Red  35mm film and my SLR  35 mmm camera and a special filter  (Wratten 87C or similar)  to go with the film. This eliminated the haze and atmospherics problem.
So, theoretically, if you had a powerful enough telescopic lens, camera, film and filter, you should  be able to take pictures of Tokyo from your location in Canada......If the earth was flat.
I know the film may no longer be available , but surely this could have been done in the past.
Considering all those many old infra-red photos, why haven't we seen any of Tokyo as you mentioned ?
This would seem to take care of the "atmoplanic" problems ......If the earth was flat ?
Considering how photography is so  popular in Japan and all the avid "camera buffs" there are in Japan, surely there might even be pictures of Canada taken from Tokyo ? ........If the earth was flat ?

So......it looks like the person in Canada could take pictures of Tokyo.........If the earth was flat.

I know that IR will let you get further, I don't know if it will let you get all the way to Tokyo from Canada.
