EPSG:6740

Tokyo to JGD2024 (2)

Attributes

Geodetic CRS: Tokyo

Datum: Tokyo

Ellipsoid: Bessel 1841

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: OGP

Revision date: 2026-06-17

Scope: Engineering survey, topographic mapping.

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.

Method: NTv2

Area of use: Japan - onshore, excluding northern prefectures of 'main province' (see remarks).
