JAF Media Works Co., Ltd. (President: Shingo Hino; Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo) released the 'JAF Route Map All Japan 2026' on Monday, March 23, 2026.
The latest edition of the annual spring-issued 'Route Map All Japan' is now available. It contains the most recent map information as of January 2026, including newly opened major roads and the 'Michi-no-Eki' (roadside stations) that are opening one after another across the country. Furthermore, we are releasing the 'JAF Route Map All Japan 2026 Enlarged Edition,' which is approximately 120% larger than the standard size.
◆ Larger and Easier to Read! The 'Enlarged Edition' Has Arrived
In addition to the standard A4 size, we are introducing the new B4-sized 'JAF Route Map All Japan 2026 Enlarged Edition.' Since the content is the same, you can choose the version that fits your style and needs—the Enlarged Edition for planning trips at home, or the standard version to carry with you as a travel companion. The Enlarged Edition is recommended for those who find small text difficult to read or for those who want to study the maps in detail. By increasing the size by approximately 120%, legend icons for famous tourist spots such as 'Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots' and 'Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings,' as well as hot springs and scenic viewpoints, are much easier to see, helping your travel ideas come to life! (The Enlarged Edition is scheduled for release on April 17, 2026.)
◆ A Reliable Guide for Comfortable Travel! A Long-Selling, Clear, and Beautiful Road Map
Unified Scale Nationwide
The map covers the entire country in 144 sections, from the northernmost Wakkanai region of Hokkaido (including Rebun and Rishiri Islands) to Iriomote, Ishigaki, and Yonaguni Islands in Okinawa Prefecture. Because the scale is consistent from north to south and west to east, it is easy to grasp distances and plan your route. The scale is set at 1/200,000 for the standard edition and 1/165,000 for the enlarged edition.
