Tokyo had already been extensively bombed in incendiary attacks which meant it would have meant "wasting" an atomic bomb on a city already heavily damaged and with much of the population already dead, homeless or evacuated to the countryside. Also, the Emperor's palace was there and the Americans wanted keep the Emperor alive for postwar purposes despite Hirohito's link to Japanese war crimes.
