Pseudo Tokyo Map
I randomly found this image on the Website for 東京国道事務所. I think this is the Tokyo Municipal Transport Department, but I am not 100% sure about the kanji.
It provides a nice view of Tokyo, even if the map isn't very accurate. The twenty-three ku's (cities or wards) of central Tokyo are roughly laid-out in this fashion. It is easy to forget living here that Tokyo lies on the ocean. Minato-ku actually means Harbour City, but only a small part lies on the water today. Most is an endless crawl of six to ten story buidlings that make-up the central three ku's of Tokyo: Minato-ku, Chuo-ku, and Chiyoda-ku.
