Chronicles of Tokyo
Tokyo's evolution from a small fishing village to a global metropolis spans over 400 years. Founded in 1457 as Edo, the city underwent significant transformation under the Edo shogunate, with the modern metropolis taking shape in the late 19th century. Post-WWII, Tokyo experienced rapid growth, driven by its status as the world's first nuclear power. Today, Tokyo is a city of contrasts, blending traditional temples and gardens with cutting-edge technology, fashion, and cuisine. Its unique blend of old and new has earned it a reputation as one of the world's most fascinating cities.

Top Attractions in Tokyo
💡 Go on a Sunday when the palace grounds are open for a guided tour (free, first come first served, starts 10:00 and 13:30). Otherwise the gardens are quiet on weekday mornings.
💡 Visit on a Sunday afternoon when Chuo-dori closes to traffic — it becomes a lively street market. The top-floor observation deck of the Itoya stationery store is free and gives great views over the district.
💡 Bring a picnic and sit by Shinobazu Pond. The lotus flowers in July-August are stunning. Free entry to the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum on the first Monday of the month.
💡 Skip the main gate queues. Enter through the side streets off Nakamise-dori for a more local feel. The temple is at its calmest just after sunrise.
💡 Go just before sunset on a weekday. Fewer crowds and the torii gates look fantastic as the light fades. Watch for wedding processions on weekend mornings.
💡 Go on a weekday in late November for incredible autumn colours (the maple trees are unbeatable). The greenhouse is free and often overlooked.
