About this Maruoka map poster
Maruoka lies on the Fukui plain north of Fukui city, now part of the city of Sakai. The town grew around a low hill crowned by Maruoka Castle, and on the map the streets still gather around this point, with the flat rice fields of the plain spreading out on every side.
The castle's keep is one of the twelve original castle keeps surviving in Japan and among the oldest of them. The town is also associated with a famously short letter written by a samurai to his wife, and it is known for the cherry blossoms that surround the castle in spring. The Kuzuryū River flows to the south.
A Maruoka map poster shows the enduring logic of a Japanese castle town. The central hill and its park, the older streets clustered close by and the fields and river beyond create a composition with a clear centre and a calm, open setting.

Why Maruoka
A map that means something
For people from Maruoka, or those who have seen the castle in cherry blossom season, the map captures a town still centred on its castle hill, with the plain stretching out around it.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, perhaps with the date of a spring visit, and choose from Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Paper gives the castle town a gentle, historical feel.
