Ueda Castle park
The castle site is a green block near the centre, and the trace of its moats and earthworks still shapes the streets around it.

The map
About this Ueda map poster
Ueda fills part of a wide basin in eastern Nagano, with mountains on every side. The Chikuma River curves along the south of the city, and its broad, braided channel is the strongest line on the map. North of the river, the older town spreads out from the site of Ueda Castle in a tighter grid, which loosens into farmland and residential streets towards the hills.
The castle is what made Ueda famous. Built by Sanada Masayuki, it held off Tokugawa armies twice, in 1585 and again in 1600, and the Sanada family remain a popular part of the city's identity. Today the castle grounds are a park, with rebuilt turrets and the old moat lines still visible in plan.
On an Ueda map poster, the park, the river and the rail lines that meet at Ueda Station, including the Hokuriku Shinkansen, form a clear frame. Further out to the south-west, the hot-spring village of Bessho Onsen sits at the edge of the basin.

Chikuma River
The wide river channel, with its gravel bars and bridges, runs along the southern side of the city and divides the basin in two.
Mountain-ringed basin
Streets and fields stop where the terrain rises, so the city looks tightly enclosed, and that shows plainly in a minimalist print.

Why Ueda
A map that means something
Ueda appeals to people who know its castle story, to those who studied or worked there, and to travellers who stopped between Tokyo and the Japan Alps. The map combines a samurai-era town plan with a river setting in one image.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can all be changed, so you can mark a year in Nagano or a family connection. Then pick Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand.
