Shichirimen-iwa plateau
A narrow ridge of volcanic debris runs for kilometres up the valley, bounded by steep cliffs. The town sits near its southern end, and the cliff edge shows as a crisp line.

About this Nirasaki map poster
Nirasaki lies at the northwestern edge of the Kofu Basin in Yamanashi Prefecture, where the valley narrows between high mountains. The town gathers at the tip of Shichirimen-iwa, a long cliff-edged plateau formed by a vast prehistoric debris flow from the Yatsugatake volcanoes. On a map the plateau appears as a sharp tongue of land between two river valleys, with streets and the railway threading along its foot.
The mountains dominate every view. The Southern Alps rise steeply to the west, with Hōō Sanzan and Kaikomagatake close by, while Yatsugatake closes the valley to the north, and on clear days Mount Fuji is visible as well. Nirasaki was also the site of Shinpu Castle, built by Takeda Katsuyori in the final years of the Takeda clan’s rule over Kai.
A Nirasaki map poster is defined by lines of force rather than a grid: the braided course of the Kamanashi, the long wall of the plateau and the roads squeezed between them. It is a home town for many, including the biochemist Satoshi Ōmura, awarded the Nobel Prize in 2015, and the print keeps its unusual geography readable at a glance.

Kamanashi River
The river spreads across a wide gravel bed as it leaves the mountains, drawing a broad pale band alongside the town and its bridges.
Shinpu Castle site
On the plateau above the valley lie the remains of Shinpu Castle, the last stronghold begun by Takeda Katsuyori, now a quiet wooded hill with earthworks.

Why Nirasaki
A map that means something
People who grew up under these mountains tend to remember the town by its edges: the cliff, the river, the peaks beyond. A framed print brings that sense of enclosure indoors, a small valley city captured in one clear drawing.
Personalise the title and subtitle, set the coordinates line and choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Digital files include six print sizes as 300 DPI PNG and print-ready PDF, so the poster can be printed locally.
