No writing whatsoever. The appendix map is also uncut and remains as is. I will also include the official map downloaded from the website, as well as a large, easy-to-read map with katakana. I especially found the large map useful, attaching it to a paper fan to carry around. It was very convenient! Image 8 You can cut out the maps like in Image 9 and stick them in a notebook or create your own arrangements! I only looked at the Pia and the highlights guide at home and didn't carry them around. I received the Red Cross News at the venue. Please take these with you as companions for your trip to the Expo.
