I have been going about this the wrong way for quite some time now, and i have now seen were my Tokyo is true to life, And were it leads me astray, Take for instance the following. This is the correct Path of shinjuku Route 4, Where as mine, i have it set as a complete straight path, Meaning no cerving at the Meiji Jungo shrine, And since this is a Dedicated Recreation, That just wont do. Anyway, Here is a Region Veiw. As you can see, i am not using the Tokyo map pack, i have just been terrorforming the...

I started my tokyo project back in 2007, since then my computer has crashed 3 times, (Before i knew i could back up my citys) i started again in earlly 2008, But i demolished it all to start my all new tokyo project, Mainly because i love tokyo japan, And that tenpedons CJ inspired me, I have to say, this is one of the Hardest cities i have ever tried to recreate from scratch, Some of the hidden roads and rail systems are not very google maps friendly, During the last 2 months i have not had the...

*Hatsudai, is alot different from Nishishinjuku, it is made up of a "No zoning" residential, as well as "No zoning" commercial lots, Meaning you can have a tall office building next to a school,club,apartment, or house, Minami is also a outter ward to Shinjuku, With Shinjuku metropalitin expressway running right through the center, it's also next door neighbors with the yoyogi ward. Minami also has such land marks as tokiwa shopping complex and Tokyo opera city tower. It also has it's own network of...
