Castle hill
The raised ground of the former Matsusaka Castle, ringed by stone walls and park paths, forms a distinct green knot beside the old merchant streets of the centre.

The map
About this Matsusaka map poster
Matsusaka sits on the western shore of Ise Bay in Mie Prefecture, and on a map it reads as two landscapes joined together. To the east lies a low coastal plain of rice fields, rail lines and dense streets. To the west the municipal boundary climbs into steep, folded mountains, where roads thin out into single lines tracing narrow valleys.
The historic centre grew around a hilltop castle laid out in the late sixteenth century by the warlord Gamō Ujisato. The castle's stone walls still stand in a park. Around them, the merchant quarter keeps a pattern of narrow, closely packed blocks. Local traders from this district later ran major businesses in Edo, and the town is also linked with the scholar Motoori Norinaga, whose former house is preserved near the castle.
A Matsusaka map poster shows the contrast well: a compact, fine-grained core, the Kushida River running toward the bay, and a large empty field of mountains to the west. Most people outside Japan know the name through Matsusaka beef, but from above the city is defined by the move from coast to highland, something that looks especially clear in black and white.

Kushida River
The river crosses the plain from the western hills to Ise Bay, cutting a broad, calm line through farmland and the southern edge of the built-up area.
Western mountains
Much of the municipality is steep forested terrain, so the map's western half is dominated by winding valley roads and scattered settlements rather than street grids.
