This is the updated third edition of an atlas first published in 1998.
During the past six years, the transportation network of the
metropolitan area of Tokyo has changed a good deal. In the case of the
subway system, lines have been extended, and some rapid-transit lines
have been added, so code numbers for each station are given in our atlas
for foreign travelers to identify them easily. In addition, as a result
of urban development in areas such as Roppongi, Shinagawa, and Shiodome,
quite a few new company buildings, stores, and hotels have appeared.
These developments are also covered in this updated edition:
- 21 area maps of Metropolitan Tokyo (42 pages) showing not only chome
numbers but also block numbers (banchi).
- 18 detailed maps of Central Tokyo (30 pages) to guide the reader even
to numbered subway station entrances.
- An additional 7 maps of central Yokohama and Kawasaki and access maps
to 3 U.S. military bases (Yokosuka, Yokota and Zama).
- Comprehensive index: More than 3,600 entries of town and station
names, as well as major organizations and buildings, provide the user
with easy access to all destinations.
