Tour of Ancient Edo (Tokyo)
Click Here To Take the Tour of Edo Hi there! My name is Edoreki Gakushimaru, and I live in the city of Edo (you probably call my city "Tokyo" -- that's the modern name for Edo). I'd like to take you on a trip through my city, to see what it was like when it was still ruled by the Shogun, when samurai walked the streets, accompanied by beautiful women wearing silk kimono.

There are lots of sights to see and plenty to learn about ancient Japan. If you have visited this website before, you'll notice that many things have changed. There is new information, new pictures to see and new towns to explore. But first, you have to travel back in time about 200 years. Are you ready? [More]
