In 1603, after the fight each other in Japan, Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu established Edo (now Tokyo) as his base. As a result, the City developed rapidly and became one of the largest cities in the world with a population of over 1 million people in the 18th century. It became the capital of the country of Japan though the Emperor lived in Kyoto, the capital of Japan. View Of Edo.After 263 years, the shogunate was overthrown and Emperor restored imperial rule.

The city of Tokyo was established and continues to be the capital until it became a county in 1943 and merged into the "extended urban area" of Tokyo.Government building in Tokyo.Tokyo, as well as Osaka, has been designed since the early 1900s as the city rail, meaning that the city built around the large train station with a high population density, so the rail can be built fairly cheap prices at the height of the side of the road. This is different than other world cities such as Los Angeles with low population density mainly for the car running, and although the highways were built, the basic design remained unchanged until today.Tokyo has undergone two major disasters and recover significantly from two events. One is the great Kanto earthquake in 1923, and the other is the disaster of world war two (1939-1945). The fire also destroyed by bombs in 1945, not least the two atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. Many areas in the city razed.After the war, Tokyo was completely rebuilt, and on display for the world to see in the 1964 Olympics held in the city. Tokyo became the largest city in the world in 1965 (from New York). The 1970s brought new high-rise developments such as Sunshine 60, a new and controversial airport (Narita International Airport) in Narita (some distance outside city limits), and a population increase to about 11 million (in the metropolitan area).Tokyo's subway system and commuter rail lines in the city to become the busiest in the world because more and more people move to this area. In the 1980s, real estate prices skyrocketed during the bubble economy: many rich people up quickly, but the bubble burst in the early 1990s and many companies, banks, and individuals were struck real estate price decline in value. The economic recession that followed, making the 1990s into a "lost decade" of Japan, which now it is recovering slowly.Tokyo still sees new urban development on the less profitable than land. Recent works include Ebisu Garden Place, Tennozu Isle, Shiodome, Roppongi Hills, Shinagawa (now also the Shinkansen station), and Tokyo station (Marunouchi side). Important buildings were torn down to make room for the more modern supermarkets such as Omotesando Hills. The land reclamation project in Tokyo also took place during the centuries. The most prominent is the Odaiba area, is now a center of trade and entertainment.Tokyo was devastated by the powerful earthquake in 1703, 1782, 1812, 1855 and 1923. The 1923 earthquake, with an estimated magnitude of 8.3, killed 142,000 to around people.There are also many different projects were proposed to move the State's authorities from Tokyo to a second capital in another region of Japan, to reduce the rapid development in Tokyo and revitalize the area slowly developed economically. The project is also controversial in Japan and has not yet been made.Due to the evolution of the rectangular method be transcribed out of old texts, Romaji can refer to the city as "Tokio".
