The
green circle in the centre is the
Kokyo (Imperial Palace). The little gray ball in the middle is the
palace itself: you can also barely see the Budokan at the top of the
palace grounds.
Tokyo Tower is located in the small park due
south of the Kokyo.
At the
bottom of the photo, on the bay, Tokyo International Airport. The third
runway was under construction at the time (or maybe it's just discolored).
The
large artificial islands in the bay near central Tokyo is Odaiba.
The
green blotches west of the Kokyo
are the Akasaka Palace and Jingu Park: the big blob far to the west is
Yoyogi Park.
The
black spot to the north of Yoyogi Park is central
Shinjuku.
The
river on the south side of the photo is the Tama River, separating Tokyo
from Kanagawa Prefecture.
The
second river due east of the Imperial
Palace is the Arakawa, separating Tokyo from Chiba Prefecture.
Tokyo Disneyland is on the other side
of this river from Tokyo (it's the big greenish-white thing on the
artificial peninsula by the bay).
The
northwestern corner of the map is in Saitama Prefecture, I think (but it's
hard to tell exactly where Saitama begins).
