Map of Tsurumi

Unauthorized reproduction is not possible

In the library, there are many people who come to see the map. There are various types of maps, such as detailed housing maps (detailed maps that show the name of the building and the names of residents of each building), guide maps for travel, and road maps. Among them, some people seem to look for an old map to see what happened to Tsurumi in the past.
