Minato: A Tokyo Time Capsule
Tokyo, Japan
This walk through Shiba reveals Tokyo’s layered history, from a fifth-century kofun to the power of Edo’s Tokugawa shoguns. Key stops include Zojoji, Sangedatsumon Gate, Shiba Toshogu Shrine, and the Tokugawa Shogun Cemetery, where religion and rule once reinforced each other. The route also reflects Meiji reform, wartime destruction, and postwar rebuilding, ending near Tokyo Tower as a symbol of renewal.
