Each page on the map (1’25,000 scale) has not only the MCT route but the detailed information hikers need： an elevation chart, and numbered landmarks showing facilities hikers might want to visit like satellite facilities, places to get water, restrooms, places to buy food, and restaurants/cafes. The distances between the landmarks is also shown. Most of the specific info hikers need to plan are covered within each map book.

The map book for each section has an introduction (in both Japanese and English, like the rest of the map book) for that particular area： how to get there, climate information and where to contact for more information. This should help hikers plan what kind of clothes and equipment to bring and how to get to the area. If you have any other questions about the maps, please feel free to contact Natori Trail Center.
