What could Tokyo have looked like in the Edo period?This is what it looks like in the AI's "imagination" in anime style.

the unique atmosphere of Japanese cities.

Today, in the era of the development of gigantic cities and the renewed race for the tallest building in the world or the most dazzling city center at night, Japanese cities still remain unique and fascinating for many with their unique atmosphere...

Tokyo with its narrow streets full of buildings of different heights and countless neon signs is probably the most recognizable example of the urban climate in this country, but it is worth remembering that in Japan itself, cities have a different character - from the noisy and impressive Tokyo, through Osaka, which combines what is new and old, Kyoto captivating with a large complex of priceless monuments and nature, to small towns that do not resemble these metropolises like Shirakawa.

In Tokyo itself and in most Japanese cities, next to the characteristic neon signs, we can also find a lot of old wooden city houses called Machiya. Looking at them, you can imagine what most of the urban buildings in this country looked like until the last war.
