Planning notes for Tokyo
Tokyo, the capital of Japan, originated as a small fishing village named Edo. In 1603, the Tokugawa shogunate established its government there, transforming the settlement into a political center for over 260 years. Following the Meiji Restoration in 1868, the city was renamed Tokyo, meaning "Eastern Capital," and became the official seat of the Emperor. The city’s architecture is categorized by a combination of historical structures and modern engineering. Traditional sites include Sensō-ji.
