Tokyo

is the largest city and capital of Japan. Contained in one of its many is the Higurashi shrine, where Kagome Higurashi lives, and nearby is also her junior high school. During the Feudal era, the city was part of Musashi Province, far from the then-urban and cultural centers of Kyoto, Nara and Osaka. The area around Kagome's home was, back then, in some woods near Kaede's village.

Trivia

 * During the time of Inuyasha and Yashahime, the area is very rural and dotted with forests, villages and farms. It would not develop into, the predecessor to modern Tokyo, until Tokugawa Ieyasu moved the seat of his shogunate there after his victory at the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 well after the events of Yashahime.
