Old maps of Japan
Maps of Japan: Japanese maps of the whole country from the Edo period, plans of the cities of Edo (Tokyo), Kyoto and Osaka, and maps of Japan made by European mapmakers from the 1500s on.
Why they are free to use: Most were published more than a century ago, so their copyright has expired. Each map's page shows its own licence basis and a credit line.
