Coastal ribbon
The city stretches along the Pacific in a long, narrow strip, with streets pressed between shoreline and hills, producing a distinctive elongated shape on the map.

The map
About this Hitachi map poster
Hitachi runs along the northern coast of Ibaraki Prefecture as a slim ribbon of city. On one side is the Pacific shoreline, on the other the forested Abukuma highlands, and the space between them is barely a few kilometres wide in places. Roads, the Joban railway line and housing all run parallel to the coast, giving the map a strong north-south grain.
The city gave its name to one of Japan's best-known companies. Hitachi began in the early twentieth century as a repair workshop at a local copper mine, and its factories still shape the town's layout, with large industrial sites visible along the flat land near the sea.
A Hitachi map poster suits a tall format, following the city as it threads between hills and water. Near the centre, Hitachi Station is known for its glass-walled concourse overlooking the ocean, and Kamine Park on a hill above town is a favourite spot for cherry blossom in spring.

Hills to the west
Wooded highlands rise immediately behind the town, and the street network stops abruptly where the slopes begin, leaving a clean, empty edge on the poster.
Factory districts
Large industrial plots near the coast appear as broad, simple blocks among finer residential streets, a reminder of the company town the city grew into.

Why Hitachi
A map that means something
For anyone who has worked for Hitachi, grown up on this coast or watched the sunrise from the station concourse, the map is a direct and unfussy portrait of a place defined by industry and ocean.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, perhaps with a year or a family name, and choose one of five styles. Blueprint suits the engineering story, while Paper or Sand soften the coastline.
