A detailed map capturing Tokyo’s urban heart and its surrounding region.

Tokyo stands out as a fascinating historic and modern hub, stretching from Shinjuku in the west to Asakusa in the east, and from Ginza in the south up to Ikebukuro in the north. This map showcases streets, railways, and rapid transit lines, along with a large inset that details the extensive transit rail network throughout the Tokyo region.

One unique feature of Tokyo is the absence of street names in many areas, with locations identified instead by neighbourhoods and districts like Ginza, Shibuya, Chiyoda, and Bunkyo. These names are crucial for navigation, and when unsure, subway station names are a reliable guide.

The reverse side of the map offers a comprehensive regional view of central Japan, focusing on the Tokyo metropolitan area and covering Kanto and Chubu provinces. It includes major tourist destinations such as Mount Fuji, Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka, making it an essential tool for visitors exploring both the capital and other popular locations.

The map scale is 1:14,000 for Tokyo and 1:600,000 for the surrounding region, providing detailed and broader perspectives for travellers.
