The original capital founded by the legendary figure Jinmu Tennou was Kashihara in present day Nara prefecture. It was later moved to nearby Asuka in 538. The first established capital city was Heijo, present day Nara, in 710. In 784, the capital moved to Nagaoka for ten years before settling in Kyoto in 794.
While the Imperial capital was in Kyoto from 794 to 1868, there were periods where the Emperor was not in command and the capital could be argued to be in another location. The Kamakura period (1185-1333) had a military capital based in Kamakura, closer to present day Tokyo. The Ashikaga shogunate (1336-1573) was based in Muromachi Kyoto. At the beginning of this period, the Emperor was in exile in Yoshino Nara (1336-1392). The shogunates of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi were in based in Azuchi in present day Shiga prefecture and Momoyama Fushimi in present day Kyoto prefecture, respectively. The Tokugawa family maintained their capital in Edo, present day Tokyo. In 1868, the Imperial capital was moved to Edo (renamed Tokyo) after the last Tokugawa shogun surrendered his office.
