Description: A map from 1920 of Japan, showing the islands of Yesso (Hokkaido), Hondo (Honshu), Shikoku, and Kiushu (Kyushu), the capital city (Tokyo) and other major cities, treaty ports, railroads, proposed railroads, submarine cables, fortifications, and navy yards. Principal steamship routes are shown with distances between ports given in nautical miles.
