Highlights of the new map include:
*Listings of 20 different restaurants representing a wide variety of cuisine and budget, including full color picture, partial English menu and operating hours and other details.
*Descriptions of 21 shops and businesses that foreigners would be interested in. .
The end result is a pretty unique map that will allow guests of Togura Kamiyamada, more fully enjoy our onsen town. Some of the parts designed particularly for travellers from overseas: *The restaurants don't have English signs, so we included pictures of their facades to make them easy to find. *We indicated which restaurants accept credit cards, are no-smoking, have vegetarian menus, and provide western-style sitting. *We included a coin laundry, convenience stores with ATM's, a pharmacist and medical clinic as well as a church with service in English, so guests from overseas will know their various needs are covered. *Visitors from abroad tend to walk and enjoy the outdoors, so the map mentions walking times and distances between major points and shows where rental bicycles are available.
