In 1872, Kusaka Warajiya established Warajiya Publishing Co., Ltd., a renowned Japanese publisher specializing in maps and travel guides. During the 1930s, the company gained widespread recognition for its exceptional railway tourist maps of Japan. However, on October 7, 2002, Warajiya Publishing unfortunately had to declare bankruptcy.

Apart from its renowned railway maps, Warajiya Publishing Co. delved into creating diverse map collections, encompassing cities, regions, and countries. The company further enriched its repertoire by producing an array of travel guides, guidebooks, and various travel-related publications.

While Warajiya Publishing thrived as a successful enterprise for numerous years, it eventually faced financial hardships leading to its bankruptcy in 2002. Although the exact reasons for the company's financial decline remain somewhat unclear, it is plausible that the surge in digital maps and travel guides posed significant challenges, impacting their competitive edge.

Despite this unfortunate turn of events, Warajiya Publishing's influence endured, leaving behind a lasting legacy in the world of cartography and travel literature.
