Tokyo

Tokyo is the Japanese capital and the world’s most populous metropolis. It is one of Japanese 47 prefectures, consisting of 23 central city wards, towns, villages and the Islands.

Prior to 1868, Tokyo was known as Edo. A small castle town in the 16th century, Edo became Japanese political centre in 1603 when ‘Shogun’ Tokugawa Ieyasu established his feudal government there.
With the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the emperor and capital moved from Kyoto to Edo, which was renamed Tokyo (“Eastern Capital”). Large parts of Tokyo were destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and in the air raids of 1945.

Today, Tokyo offers a seemingly unlimited choice of shopping, entertainment, culture and dining to its visitors.

Here are some of Tokyo attractions:

Cherry Blossoms – Around the end of March to beginning of April you can enjoy the most beautiful blooming season in Tokyo. Thousands of cherry trees, Japanese National trees, are blooming and giving out its gentle fragrance on streets, in parks and everywhere. You will see light pink petals falling in your hand and sometimes you can walk through ‘blossom tunnels’.

Traditionally people enjoy having food and drinks under cherry trees and watching the beautiful blossoms to welcome the spring season. Shinjuku-gyoen, Ueno Park, Chidori-ga-fuchi etc. are famous blossom viewing places. You may enjoy Japanese tradition if you go in this season.
