A narrow strip of the old Tōkaidō squeezed between Lake Hamana's mouth and the Pacific shore, crossed by rail and bridges.

A chizu
Arai lies at the western edge of Lake Hamana in Shizuoka, where the brackish lake opens toward the Pacific. Since 2010 it has been part of the city of Kosai. From above it is a thin settlement strung along roads and railway lines, with lake water on one side and coastal flatlands on the other. The line of the old Tōkaidō highway still guides the town's layout.
Arai was a post town on the Tōkaidō in the Edo period, and it is best known for the Arai Checkpoint, or Arai Sekisho. Its surviving building is the only original checkpoint structure left on the route, and travellers between Edo and Kyoto once had to pass through it. The checkpoint stood close to the water, where boats carried people across the lake inlet.
An Arai map poster captures this crossing point. Roads, railway tracks and bridges converge on a narrow band of land, while the shoreline of Lake Hamana cuts soft curves around them. The layout turns a historic travel route into a clean linear composition in which water, not buildings, gives the view its shape.

The lake's western shore wraps around the town in irregular inlets and reclaimed edges, giving the map a broad sheet of open water to the east.
Rail lines and highways squeeze through the same narrow strip as the old post road, forming parallel lines that carry the eye across the poster.

Ngera me a Arai
This map suits anyone with a link to Arai or Kosai, and anyone who likes the history of the Tōkaidō. It shows a town that has always been a crossing point, drawn with the restraint of a route map.
Add your own title, subtitle and coordinates, perhaps the date of a journey along the old road, and pick from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Digital files come in six print sizes, and a printed poster is also available.
