Shrines, port cities and mountain excursions, as foreign travellers found them on the eve of the First World War, fill the maps from the Guide to South-western Japan, the second volume of the Imperial Japanese Government Railways' An Official Guide to Eastern Asia, published in 1914. Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and Nagasaki have detailed plans, with a separate plan of Kobe's former foreign concession and another linking Shimonoseki with Moji. Itsukushima, Nara and the Ise shrines are mapped alongside the Lake Biwa district, Mount Aso and the Hozugawa river journey, and a general sheet covers Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu as far as Taiwan.
