Japan on a large, double-sided, indexed map from Freytag & Berndt showing the whole country including its smaller southern & eastern islands at the same scale of 1:1, 000, 000. On one side is Honshu & the northern tip of Kyushu, plus Hokkaido shown as an inset; on the reverse is the remaining part of Kyushu & the islands of the Kagoshima & Okinawa provinces, plus two insets with the small islands further east into the Pacific including Iwo Jima. The map shows the country’s road network indicating distances on main & selected secondary routes. Railway lines are included, local airports are marked & ferry connections to & between the islands are also shown. Icons prominently highlight various places of interest.
