Railway lines are included & local airports are marked. Symbols highlight campsites, beaches, archaeological & historical sites, caves, etc. The maps also show subdivisions of prefectures & names of the communes, & indicate administrative status of towns. Map legend

Includes:: English. Please note: border crossings are prominently marked but beyond topographic colouring no road or other information is provided outside the country’s borders.
