The map
About this Wako map poster
Wako is a small city in the south of Saitama, directly on the border with Tokyo's Nerima and Itabashi wards. On a map, its streets form the fine, dense mesh typical of Japanese suburbs. Rail lines cut diagonally across the city, and to the north the wide banks and floodplain of the Arakawa River mark a clear edge.
Wakoshi Station is served by the Tobu Tojo Line and by the Yurakucho and Fukutoshin subway lines, so central Tokyo is within easy reach. The station area is the densest part of the city, with housing streets fanning out from it towards the river and the prefectural border.
Wako is home to the main campus of RIKEN, Japan's national research institute, where element 113 was discovered and named nihonium. Honda also has long-standing facilities here. A Wako map poster shows a scientific and industrial town that looks, from above, like a quiet residential district.

Why Wako
A map that means something
People who have worked at RIKEN, commuted from Wakoshi Station or raised a family here often want a map that shows their small corner of Greater Tokyo. The river edge and dense street mesh make it a detailed, well-balanced print.
You can set the title in Japanese or English, add a subtitle such as a lab name or a year, and choose one of five styles. The $9 HD files come with a print-ready PDF for each of the six sizes.

The HD purchase includes 30×40 cm, 50×70 cm, A3, A2, 18×24″ and 24×36″, each as a 300 DPI PNG and a print-ready PDF.
Is there a free version of the Wako map poster?
You can download a free 900 px preview with a watermark. The paid HD files have no watermark and are sharp enough for large prints.
How do I print my Wako map?
Send the PDF to any local print shop or online printing service and ask for the matching paper size. Matte paper and a thin black or oak frame suit this style best.
