Like the city of Kyoto, the streets of the new town district were laid out at right angles (streets are named Ichijo to Kujo from the south to the north, and the names of warships were used from the east to west) and many Naval offices and subsidiary agencies were placed there (Cf. Destroyer "Yukikaze" of the Japanese Navy was built in Maizuru).
京都市に模して碁盤目状の市街地が形成され（南北に一条から九条、東西に軍艦の名前が使われる）、多くの海軍官署が設置された（日本海軍の駆逐艦『雪風』は舞鶴での建造である）。
