Old Meets New

As you walk through Tokyo, many traces of the Edo period remain, but they can be difficult to notice just by walking around. For instance, the layout of properties and road networks has changed very little since the Edo era. In other words, while the cityscape continues to evolve, the underlying structure remains intact.
