Have you ever been to Tokyo? I've always wanted to visit there.
No, I almost went on business but the trip was cancelled. I would love to visit the government buildings there. It is the seat of the Emperor of Japan.
I'd love to go just to experience the culture and the fast pace of life.
Tokyo became the capital after the Emperor Meiji moved it there. He had to rename it though. Emperors and their egos.
Ha. Do you know what it was called previously?
It was Edo. He move the old capital from Kyoto in 1868.
What an extroidinary fact, thanks for sharing that.
I have always been interested the history of Japan. For such a tiny country they have had many different kingdom's from the 4th centry to the 18th.
