◆Use the tourist association application "Tokyo Chuo-ku Town Walking Map"-A lot of light and convenient functions-

[Akira Makibuchi / Sharakusai] January 21, 2014 09:00

I walked around Ginza using the recently released sightseeing map application "Tokyo Chuo-ku Town Walking Map". Even if you don't have a guidebook or a large map, it's a convenient free app that allows you to get information at hand and expand the range of use if you use a smartphone or tablet device.

 

0913_556_140120mapapl.jpgChoose Ginza for the area. Follow the picture map of Mie Takahashi's fun illustration, and tap the camera mark icon where you want to see it to display photos and commentary (the photo shows the screen at Ginza 4-chome intersection). It is marked with a lot of history, sightseeing, shopping, and gourmet spots. "Matsuzakaya" in the pictorial map also has a kind comment saying, "It will be reopened in 2017 for redevelopment."

 

This time, when you touch the "old map", it switches to Edo Kirie map. Since it is the Owariya Seishichi version of 1849 (1849), the color is good and easy to see. If you select a normal map (standard map), you can also check the current location with location information.

 

If you choose the "Recommended Route" menu, "Hanagata" Ginza dance with instrumental accompaniment dance with instrumental accompaniment course", "Good luck in Ginza! ? There are three kinds of courses, "Hachicho Shrine Tour". When you touch the course you want to walk, the route will be displayed with an arrow from the start mark and will tell you to the goal. If you try various things, it will be interesting to walk around Chuo-ku.

 

This time, I used an Android OS tablet terminal, which was connected to the Ginza-free Wi-Fi "G-FREE", which extended to Harumi-dori St. @ Akira Makibuchi
