Station district
The older town centre sits around the railway, and its streets form the densest part of the map. Rail lines cut through it diagonally and give the grid a sense of direction.

The map
About this Sano map poster
Sano is in southwestern Tochigi Prefecture, on the northern edge of the Kanto Plain. The southern part of the city is flat and densely built. Streets gather around the railway station and the older commercial district, and farmland lies between the neighbourhoods. After mergers in 2005, the city boundary reaches far to the north, into forested mountains where only a few roads follow the valleys.
Within Japan, Sano is best known for Sano ramen, a local style of noodle soup made with hand-stretched noodles, and for Sano Yakuyoke Daishi, a temple that many people visit at New Year. The Tohoku Expressway runs through the city, and its interchange shows up as a looping knot of ramps on the southern plain.
A Sano map poster has two distinct halves. At the bottom there is a close, grainy mesh of small Japanese streets and rice-field roads. At the top, the mountains leave the paper almost empty, apart from a few thin roads following rivers into the valleys. The contrast is strong and makes a clear composition.

Expressway interchange
The Tohoku Expressway crosses the southern plain, and the curved ramps of its interchange stand out as smooth geometric shapes among the small, irregular local streets.
Northern valleys
In the mountains north of the city, roads follow narrow river valleys. They show up as a few long, winding lines with a lot of empty space on either side.

Why Sano
A map that means something
A Sano map suits someone who knows the city for its ramen shops, a New Year temple visit or a childhood on the Tochigi plain. The contrast between the dense town and the empty mountains gives it a calm, balanced look.
