Tabula
Kusatsu lies on the south-eastern shore of Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture. From above, the city spreads from the lake’s edge inland. The waterfront is broken up by small peninsulas and parks, the old town sits in the middle, and newer residential districts and a university campus fill the land towards the hills in the south-east.
In the Edo period, Kusatsu-juku was the post town where the Tokaido and Nakasendo highways met, and its preserved honjin, the official inn for travelling lords, is one of the largest that survive. The old Kusatsu River was famous as a raised river: its bed lay higher than the surrounding land, so roads had to pass beneath it.
A Kusatsu map poster places the historic junction at the centre, with the lakeshore along one side and the newer city spreading outwards. The Karasuma Peninsula reaches into the lake, the rail line cuts through the town, and the Biwako-Kusatsu campus of Ritsumeikan University adds an open, spacious section to the south-east.
The historic meeting point of the Tokaido and Nakasendo is still visible in the old town streets, where two important routes of old Japan once joined.
The city’s north-western edge follows the shoreline of Japan’s largest lake, including the Karasuma Peninsula, which extends into the water.
The old Kusatsu River once flowed above the level of the town. Its former course remains part of the city’s layout and local history.

Cur Kusatsu
Kusatsu attracts both commuters to Kyoto and students at its university, and many of them grow attached to the lake. A map captures the city at a crossroads, which suits a place built on travel.
Use the title, subtitle and coordinates line to add a campus, a date or a family name. Then choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Blueprint gives the lake a crisp outline.
