Edo
Japan: A Virtual Tour
"Edo is the ancient name for Tokyo. During the
reign of the Tokugawa Shoguns, Japan's emperor reigned
in secluded majesty at the imperial capital in Kyoto;
however, the true center of power, government, the
economy and social life was Edo, where the Shogun
lived and ruled the country...This website is designed
to take you exploring in Edo. Hopefully it will offer
not only some enjoyment, but also some insights into
the source of 'traditional Japan'."
