The map
The city of Izu covers a broad stretch of the central Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture. It reaches from river valleys up into the forested Amagi mountains. Settlement follows the water. The Kano River and its tributaries carve the land into long valleys, and towns and villages line them, separated by wooded ridges that stay almost blank on the map.
The best-known part of the city is Shuzenji, an old hot spring town that grew around a temple of the same name. Its narrow lanes follow a small river through a wooded valley. Further south, the road climbs toward the Amagi Pass, a route made famous by Yasunari Kawabata's story The Dancing Girl of Izu. Rice fields and wasabi terraces fill the flatter ground in places.
An Izu map poster shows a place defined by terrain. It has no single dense centre. Instead, clusters of streets are strung along rivers, and mountain roads loop between them. In black and white, the pattern looks almost like a brush drawing: fine lines of settlement on a large field of quiet hillside.
The Kano River runs north through the city. Most roads and settlements follow its course, and they form the main spine of the composition.
The old spa district sits tight in a narrow valley. Its small lanes cluster around a river and a centuries-old temple.
To the south, roads twist upward into the Amagi range in tight curves. They thin out into forest toward the pass.

Why Izu
Izu suits anyone who has soaked in its hot springs, walked the Amagi route or grown up among its valleys. The map is calm and quiet, a way to keep the feeling of the peninsula at home.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, for example with the date of a trip or a family name. The map comes in Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Paper and Sand suit its softer, landscape-led character.
