Tokyo - Kanto & Chugu Regions ITMB

This map of Tokyo, Kanto & Chubu Regions in Japan is double sited.  Tokyo is one of the most populous cities in the world and this map captures the areas of touristic interest which tend to exist in a relatively small portion of the metropolis, essentially from the Shibuya and Shinjuku shopping areas in the west to the Asakusa temple complex in the east.  All the subway lines are shown as well as stations. The rail lines passing through the city are numerous, but well-portrayed, including the monorail going to Haneda Airport and the main Shinkensen Terminal.  The imperial palace is prominently shown, although not open for tourists.  Tokyo tends to be a bit overwhelming, so having a good map is essential. This map of Tokyo @ 1;15,000 includes an inset of the Narita International Airport and train routes into Tokyo as well as a large inset showing the spaghetti-like network of subway/rail lines serving Tokyo.

The reverse side @ 1;600,000 is a detailed map of central Japan as far west as Nagoya and north to Yamagata, offering visitors to Tokyo with a wealth of day trips to interesting cities and nearby islands without needing a separate map.  The Top Attractions list notes such treasures as Odawara Castle, or the shrine complex at Nikko.  Mount Fuji is of course included, as is the spot where Westerners first arrived (near Shimoda).
