Map Of Japan

Mar 18th, 2008 by Neil

The longer i live in Japan the more i want to see of it and the more i find myself looking for a map of Japan so i can see what’s out there. I’ve been to a few of the prefectures and will mark up one of these maps sometime soon so i can keep track of my travels. There’s a heap of prefectures i know nothing about so having a good map of Japan handy will inspire me to do some more research and plan some more trips internally.

Japan consists of the following, 47 prefectures, which can be broken up in too 1 metropolis - Tokyo,  1 circuit - Hokkaido, 2 urban prefectures - Osaka and Kyoto, and 43 other prefectures. This current system of prefectures was established by the Meiji government in 1871 after the abolition of the han system.

The hunting around i did turned up quite a few good maps of Japan that you may find useful too. The above Map Of Japan and a few others can be downloaded full size from the links below.

If you’re looking for a more detailed Map Of Japan then try these ones. Note, there’s only 2 pages so you might need to go back to the start of the gallery.

I used to have a Map Of Japan on my wall, and I stuck a pin on each place I visited… it was a lot of fun.

Jose, check out the JR Yamanote Line series for tips on Tokyo, all 29 stations will be done by then. Kobe i’m sure i’ll be back to sometime, maybe on a trip in April next year.
