Tokyo / Japan Plane Rectangular CS XVIII

Available transformations
to EPSG:6668

Selected transformation

Name: Tokyo to JGD2024 (2)

Method: NTv2

Grid Files: tky2jgd.gsb

Remarks: Parameter values from Tokyo to JGD2000 (2) (CT code 6712) as in area of applicability JGD2024 = JGD2000. NTv2 grid derived by ESRI from that supplied by GSI in application tky2jgd. See Tokyo to JGD2024 (1) (tfm code 6714) for northern Honshu area. On adoption of JGD2024 (vertical) with effect from 1st April 2025, the name of the target CRS was changed from JGD2011 to JGD2024; there is no change of definition or of coordinate values.

Revision date: 2026-06-17

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: Tokyo

Datum: Tokyo

Ellipsoid: Bessel 1841

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: Geographic Survey Institute; Japan. http://vldb.gsi.go.jp/sokuchi/datum/tokyodatum.html

Revision date: 2002-06-22

Scope: Cadastre, engineering survey, topographic mapping (large and medium scale).

Remarks: Although legally defined as Tokyo datum the accuracy of the geodetic connection to mainland Japan is low. Replaced by JGD2000 / Japan Plane Rectangular CS XVIII (code 2460) from April 2002.

Area of use: Japan - onshore - Tokyo-to south of 28°N and west of 140°30'E.

Coordinate system: Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: northing, easting (X,Y). Orientations: north, east. UoM: m.
