Tokugawa JapanTokugawa Japan
The Shogunate capital of Edo was located in the rich fertile land of the Kanto Plain.
The Shogun or vassals directly under him controlled the largest, most productive regions.
A system of highways bound the shogun’s region together. The most important of these highways was the Tokaido or Eastern Sea route.
Tokugawa consolidated power in strategic locations by giving control of the cities of Wakayama, Nagioya, and Mito to three of his sons.
