Japan Travel Map

Freytag folded road map of Japan at 1:1,300,000 with tourist information, distances in km, ferry boat services, and index. Best quality map to buy for travelling through Japan.

Japan on a large, double-sided, indexed map from Freytag & Berndt showing the whole country including its smaller southern and eastern islands at the same scale of 1:1,000,000. On one side is Honshu and the northern tip of Kyushu, plus Hokkaido shown as an inset; on the reverse is the remaining part of Kyushu and the islands of the Kagoshima and Okinawa provinces, plus two insets with the small islands further east into the Pacific including Iwo Jima. 

The map shows the country’s road network indicating distances on main and selected secondary routes. Railway lines are included, local airports are marked and ferry connections to and between the islands are also shown. Icons prominently highlight various places of interest. Topography is indicated by relief shading. The map also shows the names and the boundaries of the provinces. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 1° intervals. Multilingual map legend includes English, but given the large size of the map it is perhaps disappointing that the legend is placed on the reverse side which shows the less visited part of the country rather than with Honshu where it would be more easily accessible and useful.
