In Edo era many canals were used to connect major rivers in order to facilitate passenger and commercial transportation on water. In modern times, starting from the period of post-war economic growth,Tokyo invested in first-class public transport infrastructure, and pedestrian zones were created so people can have a safe and enjoyable stroll or shopping experience.
Notes
Starting out as “play roads” for kids in the back streets, car-free streets were soon implemented on a large scale during the 70s on main streets in some of Tokyo’s busiest districts, Ginza, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro and Asakusa known as “Pedestrian Paradise”, as well as in other cities.
