Background on Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo is Japan’s dynamic capital, blending rich history with modern innovation. Originally a small fishing village named Edo, it became the political center of Japan in 1603 and was renamed Tokyo in 1868. Today, it stands as a global metropolis, known for its cutting-edge technology, vibrant culture, and world-class infrastructure.

Tokyo offers a unique mix of the old and new, with historic landmarks like Meiji Shrine and Sensoji Temple alongside modern attractions such as the Tokyo Skytree and bustling districts like Shibuya and Shinjuku. The city is a hub for global finance, fashion, and entertainment, and its efficient transport system, including the Tokyo Metro and Shinkansen, makes it easy to explore.
