TOKYO
The capital of Japan [until the Restoration called Yedo] is situated at the north of the Bay of Yedo, has a circumference of 27 miles, and covers a surface of 40 square miles. The river Sumida runs through the city, the larger part lying to the west of this waterway, while on the east lie the two wards named Honjo and Fukagawa. Tokyo as viewed from the bay is a pleasant-looking city, being well situated on undulating ground, and possessing abundant foliage. The city is divided into 15 ward divisions, and its suburbs into six divisions. It was, in fact, until recently more like an aggregation of towns than one great city, but every year has seen greater con- gestion and conditions more approximating to the crowded cities of the West. The ancient Castle of Yedo, now transformed into the Imperial Palace, or Gosho, occupies a commanding position on a hill a little to the westward of the city. It is enclosed in double walls and surrounded by a fine broad moat. Within the Castle formerly stood the Shogun's Palace and several public offices, but the destructive fire of the 3rd of April, 1872, levelled these ancient and massive buildings, leaving only the lofty turrets and walls. A new palace on the old site has been constructed, and the Emperor took up his residence there in January, 1889. The Imperial Garden called Fukiage is situat- ed within the enclosure of the palace. It is tastefully laid out in the pure native style,
