, all roads have led to Tokyo, the political,
commercial, and cultural axis of Japan. Significant ports, trading posts,
temples, mausoleums, and leisure resorts sprang up along these highways. As a
result, ideas about architecture, religion, and gardening coursed into the city. A
first-rate train service makes it easy to explore beyond the megalopolis, and for
sights at the edges of the city, Tokyo's subway system is unmatched. Sumptuous
tombs in Nikko, the ancient city of Kamakura, and the Edo-era Kawagoe invoke
the past. In contrast, Odaiba Island offers an urban-
scape seemingly teleported from the future.
