Bird's eye view map of the region around Tokyo, showing places where the residents of the city can go for healthy one, two or three day trips. The map, published by the Tokyo Nichi Nichi Newspaper in 1939, highlights hot springs, golf courses, beaches, parks, fishing areas, mountains, shrines, and ski areas. The mark ハ indicates hiking courses. On the reverse side, the distance to each resort area, the way to get there, and the costs are detailed. Users of the map area are warned that the areas circled in red, around the mouth of Tokyo Bay, is a military area where photos cannot be taken without permission. Even with the rising tides of war in 1939, city people were clearly still looking for ways to escape the noise and dust of the city for health-giving recreation.
