Tokyo Ward Map 1 Chiyoda Ward Leisure Map Shobunsha 1990 This book is a Shobunsha "Tokyo Ward Map 1. Chiyoda Ward" published in 1990. More than just a ward map, it's a valuable resource for understanding Chiyoda Ward at the time, packed with information specifically for leisure, sightseeing, and historical exploration. For map enthusiasts and old map fans, the inclusion of a separate booklet featuring an old map of Chiyoda Ward from around 1932 is particularly appealing. This allows for a detailed tracing of the old town names surrounding the Imperial Palace and the changes in roads and city blocks, which differ from the present day. It's an appendix that enables comparative study with the modern map (as of 1990). You can visually confirm how the center of Japan's politics, economy, and culture – the Imperial Palace, Marunouchi, Kasumigaseki, and Kanda – changed over approximately 60 years. The main map, the 1990 edition of the entire Chiyoda Ward map (scale 1:7,000), has leisure-related facilities such as museums, libraries, theaters/halls, historical sites, and shopping streets color-coded by use, making it very easy to read. In particular, being able to confirm the locations and building names of "national facilities" such as the National Diet Building, the Imperial Palace, and the Supreme Court, as well as "embassies," is important information for studying the appearance of Tokyo during this period. JR and subway route maps are also included, allowing you to see the layout of the tracks around Tokyo Station and the status of each subway line at the time. It can be said that this is a map book that reflects the times, conveying the lively center of Tokyo just before the collapse of the bubble economy. Although there are few elements such as old roads and abandoned roads, it is a gem of a map that satisfies the desire for geographical exploration as an old map and transition map of the city center. 1990 Shobunsha Good condition.
