Unique Map/

Spotted today at the large Kinokuniya Book Store at Takashimaya Square in Shibuya: From Edo to Tokyo: Travelling through time with a 200-Year-Old Map. The concept is simple: they’ve reproduced a large Edo era map and superimposed railroad lines with an accompanying guidebook to twenty Edo shrines, temples, gardens etc shown on the map which can be visited today. It’s in English but I’m not sure it’s available outside of Japan. Nice introduction to Tokyo for anyone who believes there are few areas of the city that post date WWII.
