The map
About this Tsuru map poster
Tsuru lies in the mountainous east of Yamanashi Prefecture, where the Katsura River cuts a deep valley on its way toward Kanagawa. The town has little room to spread, so on a map it stretches along the valley floor in a thin band, with roads and the railway squeezed beside the river and side valleys branching off into the hills.
The Fuji Kyuko line runs through the valley from Otsuki toward Mount Fuji, and a branch of the Chuo Expressway follows the same corridor. Together with the winding river, these lines give the town a strongly directional shape. Houses, schools and small workshops fill the flat pockets, while forested slopes on either side remain almost free of streets.
Tsuru is also connected with the future of rail travel. The Yamanashi Maglev Test Line, used to develop Japan's superconducting maglev, runs through the city, and an exhibition centre lets visitors watch test trains pass. A Tsuru map poster shows a valley town where old river routes and new engineering sit side by side.

Railway and expressway
The Fuji Kyuko line and the expressway follow the valley, drawing near-parallel lines that emphasise the town's long, narrow form.
Forested slopes
Steep wooded hills rise on both sides of the valley, leaving broad unmarked areas that frame the built-up strip.

Why Tsuru
A map that means something
Tsuru is a place many pass through on the way to Mount Fuji, but those who live or study here know its valleys closely. A map poster gives the town's shape its due, a long thread of streets held in place by the mountains.
