'''Tokyo''', the capital of [[Japan]], is the economic, political, educational and cultural center of Japan, and is situated on the eastern coast of the main island of [[Honshu]]. Prior to becoming the capital in 1868, the city was named Edo (江戸, meaning "estuary") and served as the power-base for the [[Tokugawa Shogunate]] between 1603 and 1868.
