This time, let’s journey into the beating heart of Japan: Tokyo. A city of endless wonders, where dazzling modern life meets centuries of history and tradition.
Did you know that Tokyo was once called Edo? 🌸
In the 17th century, the Tokugawa shogunate chose Edo as its seat of power, transforming it into a thriving city of temples, shrines, and bustling markets. Later, in 1868, Emperor Meiji moved the imperial court here from Kyoto, renaming the city Tokyo, which means “Eastern Capital.” From that moment on, Tokyo became the center of Japan’s politics, economy, and culture.
Today, Tokyo shines as the city that never sleeps 🏙️. Neon signs and skyscrapers light up the skyline, while just around the corner you can step into another world: the timeless charm of Asakusa’s Senso-ji Temple, the cherry blossoms of Ueno Park, or the quiet backstreets of Yanaka.
