Hello,
How can I add the location in an image? For example 2020-02-01_Tokyo.jpg

exiftool -city=Tokyo FILE
...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Your question isn't very clear.  Do you mean embed a city name in the file as per Phil's post?  Or extract the city name from the file name?  Or add the city name to the file name?
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

The file should be renamed automatically. Exiftool should read the value from the image. I know that there are only coordinates. So maybe link to a database or a CSV file?

It sounds like you want to take the GPS coordinates from an image and convert this to a city name (also known as reverse geotagging in some circles).  Here is a thread discussing this.
