Tokyo,
officially Tokyo
Metropolis, is the capital and most
populous city of Japan. Tokyo is in the Kantō region on the
southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu
Islands, and Ogasawara Islands. Formerly known as Edo, it has been the
de facto seat of government since 1603 when Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu
made the city his headquarters. Tokyo Metropolis was formed in 1943
from the merging of the former Tokyo Prefecture and the city of Tokyo.
The city was originally known as Edo, which
means "estuary". It’s name was changed to Tokyo when it
became the imperial capital with the arrival of Emperor Meiji in 1868.
