Description:

Japan is a larger country than most people realize, and while our country map is still our most popular version for this country, Japan divides quite nicely into two halves – west of Tokyo and north of Tokyo. The north itself divides nicely into two parts; the main island with interesting cities to explore, and the island of Hokkaido, with its capital of Sapporo. This map concentrates on the northern portion of Edo, the main island forming Japan, with the Shinkensen train lines shown separately from the regular train lines. Most visitors to Japan use the excellent JBC rail pass to explore the country, and cities such as Nagano or Nigata are only a few hours away from Tokyo.
