Castle grounds
The castle site forms a clear shape of moats and terraces in the town centre. The old streets of the former castle town fit neatly around it.

The map
About this Yamatokōriyama map poster
Yamatokōriyama lies on the flat floor of the Nara Basin, just southwest of Nara city. Its centre is a former castle town, and on the map the castle site shows as a compact area of moats and stone-walled enclosures. Around it, narrow merchant streets and old districts wind in a close, irregular pattern, while newer housing spreads outward across the plain.
The town is famous across Japan for goldfish. Farmers have bred goldfish here since the Edo period, and many shallow rectangular breeding ponds still dot the outskirts. The town hosts a national goldfish-scooping championship, and the fish appear on everything from street decorations to local souvenirs.
A Yamatokōriyama map poster shows these layers together. In the middle sit the castle site and its moats. Around them run the small streets of the historic town, crossed by two railway lines that pass through the centre. At the edges, the grid of ponds and paddy fields creates a pattern of small rectangles that you will not find in most cities.

Goldfish ponds
Many rectangular breeding ponds fill the edges of town. From above they look like a fine patchwork and reflect a tradition that goes back centuries.
Twin rail lines
Two railway lines cross the town, each with its own station. Their long straight tracks cut through the older, more irregular streets of the centre.
