Tokyo is the bustling capital of Japan, located on the eastern coast of the country. Its history spans from the Edo period, through periods of samurai rule and imperial influence, to its rapid modernization in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, Tokyo is a global hub of technology, culture, and finance. Known for its cutting-edge architecture, traditional temples, and vibrant neighbourhoods, the city is a blend of old and new. Constantly evolving, Tokyo hosted the Olympic Games in 1964 and again in 2021.
Nagoya is a major city in central Japan, known for its industrial prowess and rich cultural history. Originally a castle town during the Edo period, it grew under the influence of the powerful Owari branch of the Tokugawa clan. Today, Nagoya is a centre of automotive and aerospace industries, home to companies like Toyota. The city balances tradition and innovation, with attractions such as Nagoya Castle, Atsuta Shrine, and modern shopping districts. A key transportation hub, Nagoya connects Japan’s major cities via the Tokaido Shinkansen, playing a vital role in the nation’s economy and cultural exchange.
Fukuoka is a vibrant city located on the northern coast of Kyushu, Japan’s southernmost main island. Historically a gateway for trade and cultural exchange with Asia, its roots stretch back to ancient times. Once a key samurai stronghold during the Edo period, Fukuoka has grown into a dynamic hub of commerce, technology, and tourism. The city is known for its historic temples, lively food scene—particularly its famous street-side yata food stalls—and modern shopping areas like Canal City. Fukuoka’s blend of tradition and innovation makes it a thriving centre for both local culture and international influence.
