Tokyo

Tokyo's saga traces back to the 12th century when it was known as Edo, a small fishing village. In the early 17th century, the Tokugawa shogunate transformed Edo into a powerful political and cultural center. The Edo Castle, now the Imperial Palace, became the heart of this bustling city.

The 19th century saw Japan emerge from isolation and Edo transform into Tokyo, the "Eastern Capital," under Emperor Meiji. Modernization, industrialization, and Western influences reshaped the cityscape, while traditions were carefully preserved.

The 20th century brought tumultuous times, from the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 to the devastation of World War II. But Tokyo's indomitable spirit led to rapid reconstruction and growth.

Today, Tokyo stands as a sprawling metropolis, where ancient temples like Sensō-ji coexist with neon-lit districts like Shibuya. Its cutting-edge technology, fashion, and culture set global trends.
