The map
Mitake lies in southern Gifu Prefecture, in hilly country east of Nagoya. It developed as Mitake-juku, one of the post towns on the Nakasendō, the historic road that linked Edo and Kyoto through the mountains of central Japan. On the map, the old route can still be traced through the town, running along the valley.
Today the town combines the older centre along the road with residential areas spreading into the surrounding hills. Forested slopes, small rice fields and winding roads fill the space between settlements, and the railway runs through the valley.
A Mitake map poster shows how the settlement follows the terrain, with a band of streets along the valley and the forest around it. It suits people drawn to Japan's historic roads, and the quiet balance between built and open space makes it a calm design.

Streets and houses line the valley floor, forming a narrow, continuous band between the hills.
Wooded slopes surround the town, leaving wide, quiet areas on the map around the built-up land.
