History
Tokyo was originally named Edo until in 1868 the emperor and Japan’s capital moved from Kyoto to Edo, renaming it to Tokyo (東京). In the next century two major events would erase major parts of the city’s rich history, the Great Kanto Earthquake which occurred in 1923, and the firebombing raid in 1945.
But Tokyo endured and rebuilt itself, standing strong today as the largest and most populated city in the world. It became a hotbed of emerging designers, cultures, artists, food scenes, entertainment, shopping, and coffee, so much coffee.
