Take into mind the geographical location of Tokyo. Because it was less accesible for trade to both other areas of Japan and countries in mainland Asia, Japan was not the ideal site for the original capital. As the country developed, Tokyo became a route centre and began to expand. Roads were built connecting it to resource centres and ports. Having become one of the more populated cities, with quality defense and accesibility, it began to prosper and was deemed the proper capital of Japan.And because I am a idiot don't listen to me.

What does Tokyo mean?
The names of Japan's former and current capitals, Kyoto and Tokyo, appear to us to be made up of the same two elements reversed, but in fact they have only one element in common. The elements of Tō-kyō are old borrowings from Middle Chinese: tō means "east" and kyō means "capital," so together they mean "east(ern) capital." Chinese has another word for "capital," pronounced dū, whose Middle Chinese ancestor was borrowed into Japanese as to, "capital, large city." This is found in the name Kyoto, which was Japan's capital from 794 to 1192. The first part of Kyōto, kyō, is in fact the same word for "capital" found in Tokyo. Kyōto thus means "capital city."its a city in Japan "To" means East, and "kyo" means Capital.
