Et au commencement, Tokyo n’était pas encore Tokyo… Un retour aux origines de cette capitale dont la grandeur actuelle est intimement liée à celle d’un homme dont l’ambition et le charisme seront tels, qu’il fera ombrage au fils de la déesse du soleil, l’empereur du Japon.

Promenade--from Tokyo Station to the Imperial Palace

Without any doubt, this is one of the most beautiful promenades in Japan, and also, especially historical road. At first sight, it doesn't look a lot of historical signs concealed. I'll tell you such secrets of this promenade taking a stroll on this road. There's no splendid palace like Versailles, but we can find remains of "Castle" in many places. That's the secret of this road because It's the scene of Japanese revolution, a dramatic and irreversible social change llike French revolution.
