Tokyo & Central Japan

Tokyo is one of the largest and most complex cities in the world. As the capital of Japan and close to the international airports of Narita and Haneda, it serves as the entry point for most visitors to Japan. It is also an interesting city and a historic centre, full of touristic sites well worth a visit, fabulous shopping experiences, and a transit network that is very easy to use.

Features of the Map:

• Touristic Coverage:
  The map focuses on the touristic centre of this vast urban complex, spanning from Shinjuku in the west to Asakusa in the east, and from the Ginza north to Ikebukuro.
• Detailed Transit Information:
  Streets, rail lines, and rapid transit lines are all clearly shown. Additionally, a large inset map highlights the many transit rail options throughout the Tokyo region.
• Neighbourhoods and Districts:
  Tokyo is unique in that most of the city lacks street names, relying instead on neighbourhoods and districts like Ginza, Shibuya, Chiyoda, and Bunkyo. These names are essential for navigating the urban area, and we have made every effort to name all these subdivisions. When in doubt, subway station names can also serve as reliable navigation points.

Side 2 - Regional Map of Central Japan:

The reverse side of the map offers an excellent regional map of central Japan, centred on the Tokyo urban agglomeration. Key features include:

• Coverage of Kanto and Chubu Provinces.
• Highlights of touristically important destinations such as Mount Fuji, Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka.

This dual-purpose map is incredibly valuable for tourists, as it provides detailed coverage of both the capital city and many of the most visited areas in the country.
