So where am I, exactly? What is now Tokyo was once tidal pools and salt marshes, but the area has been inhabited for 10,000 years. This city was once called Edo, but didn't become the seat of the country's power till 1600. Now it's home to 13 million people, with another 20 million people in the greater metropolitan area. Lordy. Sitting in a hotel room in Shinagawa, I can't even figure out which way is east. Maybe this map will help...
