History
Tokyo evolved from the Edo shogunate’s castle town into Japan’s modern capital during the Meiji Restoration; many neighborhoods still reflect that layered development.
Conservation
High visitor volumes can strain small shrines and narrow lanes—carry out trash, stick to marked paths in gardens, and follow local rules to minimize impact.
