Edo: Ieyasu's Urban Legacy

Ieyasu's greatest hit? That would be Edo, better known today as Tokyo - you know, just the largest city in the world!

It's like he founded ancient Japan's version of New York City. Ieyasu took a sleepy fishing village and turned it into the coolest spot in Japan. Fast forward a few centuries, and his little pet project is now a bustling metropolis of neon lights, bullet trains, and more vending machines than you can shake a katana at. Not bad for a guy from the 17th century!
