Detailed Solution

The ancient name of Tokyo is Edo. The city of Tokyo and its history goes back about 400 years. The city of Tokyo, originally named Edo, started to flourish when the Tokugawa Shogunate established Tokugawa Ieyasu here in 1603. As the centre of culture and politics in Japan, Edo grew into a major and huge city with a population of over a million by the mid-eighteenth century. Throughout this time, the Emperor of Japan stayed in Kyoto, the nation's former capital. For nearly 260 years, the Edo Period lasted until the Meiji Restoration in 1868, when imperial rule was restored, and the Tokugawa Shogunate ended. The Emperor shifted to Edo from Kyoto, which was renamed Tokyo. That is how Tokyo became Japan's capital.
