The map

About this Akita map poster

Akita lies on the coastal plain of northern Honshu, where the Omono River reaches the Sea of Japan. On the map, the river and its canals curve through the city, the harbour sits in the north-west, and the centre is gathered around Senshū Park, the green hill where Kubota Castle once stood. Hills and farmland surround the built-up area inland.

The city was the seat of the Satake clan during the Edo period, and the old castle grounds still shape the centre. Each August, the Kantō festival fills the main streets with performers balancing tall bamboo poles hung with lanterns. The rest of the year, the city is known for long, snowy winters and the rice-growing region around it.

An Akita map poster places the castle park at the centre, with the river curving around the city and the coastline adding a strong edge on one side. The city's modest scale keeps the composition clear. In black and white, the green hill of Senshū Park looks like a calm, open shape among the streets.

01

Senshū Park

The former site of Kubota Castle rises as a wooded hill in the city centre, with moats and a park that stand out clearly among the streets.

02

Omono River

The river and its canals flow through the city toward the sea, adding soft curves to the otherwise regular street layout.

03

Sea of Japan coast

The harbour and a long, straight coastline mark the western edge of the city, giving the map a firm natural boundary.

Why Akita

A map that means something

Akita is closely tied to seasons: summer festival nights and deep winter snow. A map of the city, personalised with a family name or a special date, makes a thoughtful gift for someone who grew up here and moved to Tokyo or abroad.

Five styles are available: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Paper suits a gentle, seasonal feeling. Start with a free 900 px preview, then choose the $9 HD files or a matte printed poster with an optional wooden frame.
