The map
Chikuma lies in northern Nagano Prefecture, in the valley south of Nagano city. The city takes its name from the Chikuma River, which runs through it on its way to becoming the Shinano, Japan's longest river. On a map the river is the clear centre, with the built-up area following both banks and mountains closing in on either side.
The present city was formed in 2003 by merging several towns, and the map shows it: separate clusters linked by rail and road along the valley floor. On one bank is the Togura-Kamiyamada hot-spring area. Orchards and farmland climb the lower slopes, and forested ridges rise above them.
Chikuma is known for the Obasute terraced rice fields, where the moon's reflection in the flooded paddies has been celebrated in Japanese poetry for centuries. A Chikuma map poster shows the valley plainly: river, rail line, small town centres and the steep hillsides that frame them.
The broad river runs through the middle of the city. Its wide bed and bridges are the strongest feature on the map.
On the western slopes, small terraced rice fields step down the hillside. They are among the best-known rural landscapes in Japan.
Togura-Kamiyamada Onsen sits along the river, a dense cluster of inns and lanes packed close to the water.

Why Chikuma
Chikuma speaks to anyone who has soaked in its hot springs, walked the terraces or grown up in the Nagano valley. The river gives the poster a calm, flowing composition that works well in a small room.
Give it your own title and subtitle, for example the name of an inn or the date of a trip, and edit the coordinates line. Then pick one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand.
