High up in the middle of the Green Map train car, where advertisements are usually hung, detachable Icon sheets were placed so the passengers could take the Icons and carry out their own fieldworks In their neighborhoods after getting off the train. These sheets were very popular and it was necessary to add more and more Icon sheets during the rolling exhibit's two week run.

Advertisement strap? No, Green Map Icon strap! Each strap contained a symbol to represent "Great Nature," "Good Relax," "Good Culture," "Good Food," "Good Transportation," and "Bad Environment."

The train car's wall was lined with the Yamanote Line Green Map. Each station's fieldworkers added their own section of the map to complete the circle. Some of the passengers managed to read the whole map!
