Field notes
The map’s geography is based on OpenStreetMap, while mapped building heights and roof shapes are incorporated where available; missing heights, facades, trees, and colors are artist-interpreted. Its controls include district selection, search in English or Japanese, map-view sharing, and display settings for labels, metro stations, evening appearance, time, weather, and season. A visitor counter counts unique browsers and says it stores no IP address or email; the extraction still showed a map-loading message.
