Official EPSG transformations from Tokyo to JGD2000

The EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset defines 2 transformations between Tokyo (EPSG:4301) and JGD2000 (EPSG:4612). Each applies to a specific area — pick the one whose area of use covers your data.

Tokyo to JGD2000 (2)

EPSG:6712±0.2 mBest accuracy
Method:
NTv2
Area of use:
Japan - onshore
Scope:
Engineering survey, topographic mapping.

Grid file: tky2jgd.gsb

NTv2 grid derived by ESRI from that supplied by GSI in application tky2jgd. After Tohoku earthquake of 2011 accuracy in northern Honshu reduced to 1-5m and in this area replaced by Tokyo to JGD2011 (tfm code 6714).

Tokyo to JGD2000 (1)

EPSG:15483±9 m
Method:
Geocentric translations (geog2D domain)
Area of use:

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is converting Tokyo to JGD2000?
The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±0.2 m within its stated area of use. Browser-based converters approximate datum shifts with Helmert parameters; for surveying-grade work apply the official transformation (including the grid-shift files listed below) in a desktop GIS.
Does my data leave the browser when I use this converter?
No. All coordinate transformations are computed locally in your browser using proj4js. The coordinates you enter are never transmitted to any server.
