How is the 30 km radius measured?

As the crow flies from the centre of Tokyo, not by driving time. A place inside the circle can still be a long way round by road, and the distance to each is on its card on the map.

Where does this information come from?

Every place is drawn from Wikidata (CC0), with photographs from Wikimedia Commons and a link to its English Wikipedia article. Selection is deterministic: a place is here because Wikidata files it under one of the classes this atlas carries and it has coordinates, a photo and an article. Nothing is written or chosen by an AI, and the ranking is simply how many Wikipedia language editions cover a place.
