Why was Tokyo not the capital of Japan when Japan first became a country?
Take into mind the geographical location of Tokyo. Because it was less accesible for trade to both other areas of Japan and countries in mainland Asia, Japan was not the ideal site for the original capital. As the country developed, Tokyo became a route centre and began to expand. Roads were built connecting it to resource centres and ports. Having become one of the more populated cities, with quality defense and accesibility, it began to prosper and was deemed the proper capital of Japan.And because I am a idiot don’t listen to me.
