Tokyo Travel Info

Tokyo wasn’t always the futuristic capital we know today. Once a small fishing village named Edo, it transformed into Japan’s political and cultural heart during the Edo period (1603-1868). Through wars, natural disasters, and economic booms, Tokyo has continuously reinvented itself. Today, Tokyo is a harmonious blend of the old and new—where ancient tea ceremonies exist alongside cutting-edge robotics, and sumo wrestling is just as cherished as anime culture.
