Matsudo

The landscape around Matsudo is a low alluvial plain beside the Edo River, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. In northwestern Chiba Prefecture, the city sits directly across the river from Tokyo and is closely tied to the capital through rail links and daily commuting. Matsudo-juku was a post station on the Mito Kaido during the Edo period, when this route connected Edo with Mito. The city also preserves Tojo-tei, the former residence of Tokugawa Akitake, whose Western-influenced Meiji-era architecture reflects a period of rapid change in Japan.
