Edition: Corresponds to the second undated edition described by Akioka in Nihon chizu sakuseishi 日本地図作成史, p. 88, col. 1. In Sagami province, instead of Inaba Tango 稲葉丹後, it gives the daimyō's name as Ōkubo Kaga 大久保加賀 and his revenue as 103,000 goku. Matsumae 松前 appears as an island between Honshū and Hokkaidō. This edition, according to Akioka, is likely to have been published in Jōkyō 3 貞享三年 (1686).
Contents: Map of Japan, designer unknown, showing fiefs, castles and inns. Hand-coloured in green, yellow, mauve and blue. A panel along lower edge lists provinces and their revenues, grouped in the 7 traditional dō 道.
