Indented coastline

The map
About this Amakusa map poster
Amakusa is a city in Kumamoto Prefecture that covers much of the Amakusa Islands, off the west coast of Kyushu. It was formed by merging a number of towns and villages, so its map is less a single city than a coastline. Steep, wooded islands hold small ports and fishing settlements tucked into bays along a deeply indented shore.
The main urban area, around Hondo, sits near the narrow strait between Kamishima and Shimoshima, the two largest islands, with streets gathered tightly along the water. Elsewhere, roads follow the coast and cross mountain ridges between isolated villages. Bridges link the islands to one another and, in turn, to mainland Kyushu.
Amakusa is known for its Christian history, from the Shimabara–Amakusa uprising of 1637 to the hidden Christian communities who kept their faith in secret for centuries. The fishing village of Sakitsu is part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing. An Amakusa map poster traces this layered landscape through its coves, harbours and ridge roads.
