Planning notes for Tokyo
Tokyo, the capital of Japan, originated as a small fishing village named Edo before becoming the seat of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1603. The city was renamed Tokyo in 1868 when the imperial capital moved from Kyoto. Its historical heritage is preserved in sites such as Senso-ji, a Buddhist temple founded in 645, and the Imperial Palace, which occupies the former site of Edo Castle. The architectural landscape consists of traditional wooden structures in neighborhoods like Yanaka and Shitamachi.
