  20. History and Geography Tokyo was once called Edo. The city streets were filled with teahouses, Kabuki theaters, shops and markets, and small houses. Edo was the capital of Japan during Tokugama Shogun. Shoguns were military leaders, hundreds of years ago. They were very powerful and had many servants. The shogun trained fighters, what they call samurai, to protect them. They were brave warriors who would do any thing for their shogun. The samurai wore swords and became masters of them. This type of fighting has been passed down from generation to generation, called martial arts. Japan is made up of four large islands and lots of little islands. It is very mountainous and has lots of volcanoes.

  21. Mount Fuji is a volcano in Japan that is not active. Even thought volcanoes can be disastrous, the hot earth heats up the water to make steamy hot springs. Japan has half the population of the United States and is the size of Montana, if all the islands were pieced together. Zojoji Temple
