The Map of Marunouchi District in Central Tokyo, Japan was crafted in 1948 and serves as an invaluable historical artifact, offering a poignant glimpse into the city's landscape during the period of Allied Occupation following World War II. This meticulously detailed map illuminates the heart of Tokyo, capturing the essence of a city in the throes of transformation as it emerges as a global economic and financial powerhouse.

At the core of this historic document lies the Marunouchi district, a region steeped in significance. It nestles within the heart of Tokyo, flanked by notable landmarks: the Imperial Palace to the north, Tokyo Station to the east, and the Nihonbashi district to the south. The map, an intricate tapestry of information, meticulously delineates the district's major thoroughfares, including 1st Street, 2nd Street, and 3rd Street, providing a navigational guide through the bustling heart of the city.

Perhaps the most captivating facet of the map is its portrayal of iconic landmarks. The Tokyo Stock Exchange, a bastion of Japan's financial might, stands prominently, a testament to the district's economic vitality. In close proximity, the Dai-Ichi Building and the Mitsui Building grace the map, emblematic structures that symbolize Tokyo's resurgence in the aftermath of war.

The map also serves as a historical compass, revealing the presence of Allied installations within Marunouchi. Notable among these is the General Headquarters of the Allied Powers (GHQ), a symbol of the post-war occupation and reconstruction efforts led by the United States. Additionally, the map identifies the Dai-Ichi Mutual Life Insurance Company Building and the Imperial Hotel, all of which played pivotal roles in the district's revitalization under Allied supervision.
