Buyodo is a map specialty store located on the second basement floor of the Byoo Building, facing Yaesu Kitaguchi Street, one further east of Sakura-dori St. on the east side of Nihonbashi Takashimaya, and is called "Treasure Island of Map".
This company was established in 2007, inheriting the publishing and bookstore sales department of Takeyodo Co., Ltd., which was founded in 1897 (Meiji 30). It seems that Takeage-do was handling Army books before the war, but since the war, he has been conducting agency work to dealers nationwide as a source of topographic maps issued by the Geographical Survey Institute.
In addition to publishing company publications such as road maps, books and map calendars related to maps, "Ino-zu" created by Tadataka Ino, a map creator of the Edo period, as well as selling theme maps such as volcanic land conditions maps and urban active fault maps, overseas maps, housing maps and old maps, as well as selling map goods and processing panels and framed services.
Tokyo Danbo purchased a map of Chuo-ku in 1935. There are also maps that express topographic maps in 3D and mugs that print old Edo maps, and there are plenty of things you want.
stamp rally is held from April 9th (Mon) to April 28th (Sat), with seven antenna shops in the Nihonbashi area, Takashimaya, Mitsukoshi, Eitai, and ROJI.
If you go around the seven antenna shops in Yamaguchi, Shiga, Toyama, Nara, Shimane, Mie, and Fukushima along Chuo-dori across Nihonbashi, you will get a little sweets that can recover tiredness from Eitai and ROJI. You can draw lots of lottery at Buyodo.
It is a fun event where you can take a short walk on Chuo-dori while comparing the cut-out map with the current map and try lottery. There are still many prizes left, so please join us and take a look.
Mr. Okazaki, Director of Buyodo, who heard this time, will continue to work on all employees to pursue their historical value, new roles, and positions without temporarily stagnating the publishing culture, especially the culture of maps. He said that he would like to focus on paper-based maps.
