The document describes Kinya Inoue's work mapping various historical sites in Japan over the past year. It details his efforts to map several prominent Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines in Tokyo, including Zojoji Temple and Yasukuni Shrine. It also discusses mapping the 600-year-old Tsuruga-jo Castle and surrounding area in Aizu Wakamatsu City, which required walking over 23 km and recording many points. Inoue emphasizes the need to walk extensively and record many details when mapping locations in Japan due to limitations of available satellite imagery.
