About this Aizu-Wakamatsu map poster
Aizu-Wakamatsu lies in the Aizu basin of western Fukushima, surrounded by mountains, with Mount Bandai and Lake Inawashiro to the northeast. From above, the city is laid out on the flat basin floor, with a regular grid of streets extending from the old castle grounds. The castle's moats and the park around them form a clear, square-shaped open area at the heart of the city.
Tsuruga Castle, rebuilt in the twentieth century, is the city's defining landmark. Aizu played a central role in the Boshin War of 1868, and the story of the Byakkotai, young samurai who died on Iimoriyama hill, is closely tied to the city's identity. Aizu is also known for sake brewing and lacquerware.
An Aizu-Wakamatsu map poster shows a classic Japanese castle town, with the grid of streets organised around the moats and the basin framed by rising ground. The castle park forms the anchor of the composition, and the regular street pattern gives the map a calm, ordered feel that reflects the city's long history.

Castle-town grid
Streets extend from the castle area in a regular pattern typical of Japanese castle towns, giving the city an orderly, rectangular layout on the basin floor.
Iimoriyama hill
On the eastern edge of the city, the hill associated with the Byakkotai rises above the streets, a small but significant break in the grid.
