Tokyo, which is the capital of Japan, is one of the three largest cities in the world. In the

twelfth century, Japan's capital was an island city named Kyoto. Six hundred years later,

many people from Kyoto moved to a city called Eyed. They renamed it Tokyo and made

this city the capital of Japan.

Today, Tokyo is a busy place. It is a center of business and education. It is also a

religious center. In addition, the famous Imperial Hotel was built in 1920 by an

American, Frank Lloyd Wright; and many shops, stores, theaters and eating places can be

and steel may be seen. Some of these were built after the earthquake of 1923. Others

were built after World War II.
