Tokyo district

Tokyo is a bustling metropolis and the capital of Japan, blending ultra-modern skyscrapers with historic temples and shrines. The city’s districts, such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Asakusa, each offer unique cultural experiences, from high-tech entertainment to traditional festivals. Originally a small fishing village named Edo, Tokyo grew into Japan’s political and cultural center after becoming the shogunate’s capital in 1603 and the imperial capital in 1868.
