When we first moved to Shin-Nakano, we went to a neighborhood bar and had a few drinks. I noticed the map in the back was actually a historical map from shortly after WW2, which was given out to GIs after they were occupying Tokyo. The map included driving instructions for day trips, and street names in English. Our office was in Kyobashi then, so it was just interesting to see it on a historical map. My girlfriend actually managed to track down a copy for me, super interesting bit of history.

Another adventure of "get on a train and see where it takes us". This time we wound up at a cool historical airfield/museum. Amazing to see if you dig history.
