The map
Yamagata in Gifu Prefecture lies north of the city of Gifu, where the Nōbi Plain gives way to the wooded hills of the Mino region. The city was formed in 2003 by the merger of several towns and villages, and its map reflects that: separate settlements spread along valleys rather than a single dense centre.
Roads and rivers follow the valley floors, and houses, schools and small commercial strips gather along them. Rice fields fill the flatter land, forming neat rectangles, while forested ridges rise between the valleys and leave large areas of the map quiet and open.
The southern parts of the city are closer to the plain and more built up, while the north is steeper and more rural. A Yamagata map poster shows the typical pattern of Japanese hill country, with life concentrated in the valleys.
Homes and roads cluster along the valley floors, forming long, narrow ribbons of development that stretch between the hills.
Flat valley land is divided into small, regular paddy fields, adding a fine geometric texture beside the roads and rivers.
Wooded hills separate the valleys and cover much of the city's area, appearing as broad open spaces that give the poster its calm balance.

Why Yamagata
Yamagata is a place of family homes and quiet valleys, and a map of it holds the shape of a community that is spread out but closely tied. It suits anyone who grew up here or has family in the Mino hills.
