I can't seem to find a map that includes every railway in Japan (it's very very difficult, actually). Is there a map (as photo) that includes every single railway, except google map?

When I was there last year, we referred to this map a lot, to identify what connections existed, but given all the local metros and monorails and the like, to fit all the detail for the whole of Japan is very unlikely.– Mark MayoCommented Aug 26, 2015 at 6:30

1You could use openstreetmaps and use the transport-layer.– ZombayaCommented Aug 26, 2015 at 18:06

Here you go: 全国鉄軌道路線図
￥1,296 from Amazon.co.jp. Here's a blog review with some pictures of the map folded out.
And yes, that's entirely in Japanese, I very much doubt such a thing exists in English. To get some idea of the effort that would entail, here's a closeup of another incomplete & partial map covering just the Tokyo metro area.

I'm thinking now if there could exist a more complex metro area around the world! Amazing!– SigurCommented Aug 26, 2015 at 9:07

I had to thank you for your effort - it was a brilliant answer!– JCCMCommented Aug 26, 2015 at 9:26

That's epic! :) When I wrote my comment above I was thinking 'well in theory you could build a fold out one to show all the low level detail...but who would do that?'. Question answered :) Commented Aug 26, 2015 at 10:55

@Sigur The London rail and tube services map tfl.gov.uk/cdn/static/cms/documents/… is probably the closest. I've never seen a New York map that has LIRR, MetroNorth and NJT as well as the subway, but that would be getting close too. Commented Aug 28, 2015 at 9:10

@RichardGadsden, maybe because the Japanese char, but I still think that Japanese map is unbelievable. Thanks for the map.– SigurCommented Aug 28, 2015 at 9:13
