Best Restaurants in Tokyo

An absurdist map. Titled: Best Restaurants in Tokyo. But showing a mirror imaged version London (UK), with the river Thames running through it. There are two green squares denoted 'you are here'; and the legend entires for 'hospital' and 'firework/party shop' share the same symbol: an orange star. The scale bar is of length 7343.91 m. The North arrow shows that North is up, and that east is to the left. The grid ticks read 'S O N I C' on the y-axis and 'B A D G E R' on the x-axis. The inset map that is supposed to show the extent of the main map is centered on London, Ontario. — Best Restaurants in Tokyo: I'll leave it as an exercise to reader to determine how many things there are wrong with this. Made for day 4 - A Bad Map - of the 2023 #30DayMapChallenge.
