Discover the Spirit of Edo in Okazaki

Japanese culture, such as Ukiyoe and Kabuki, blossomed during the Edo period (1603-1868), a period of peace that lasted for more than 260 years. The origin of the Edo culture was Okazaki, where Ieyasu Tokugawa, the Shogun (title of the military rulers of Japan) who established the peaceful Taihei era, was born. Here in Okazaki, you can still catch a glimpse of Edo culture and explore the key to the long-lasting peace in Japan.
