▼The Full History of Capital Relocation in Japan▼
• The Full History of Ca...
If you’ve ever considered coming to Japan before, you might have noticed that the names of the two major cities, Tokyo and Kyoto, have very similar names.
But why? It is because they were both the capitals of Japan.
Kyoto became the capital of Japan in 794, and from there until the end of the Edo period in 1868, the Imperial Family continued to live there for more than 1,000 years.
The Tokyo area also started to hold the function of the capital in terms of economy and politics, since the time the samurai gained power and the Kamakura Shogunate was established (1185). The Edo Shogunate started by Tokugawa Ieyasu was based in the Tokyo area too.
When Japan Westernized in the 19th century and Edo became Tokyo, the Imperial Family also moved to Tokyo to live there to establish a new modernized government. This is when Tokyo became the capital in both meanings of where the Emperor lives, and where the center of economy and politics are.
So the two kanji characters 京都 both mean “capital,” but 東京 means “the eastern capital.”
By the way, one of the first capitals of Japan was actually built in Nara prefecture, but it only lasted shorter than 100 years.
