Create your Takayama map poster

Takayama has about 88,000 residents. Traditional crafts, lacquerware, yew furniture, and local food remain tied to its historic streets and markets.

The old center uses small, regular blocks beside the Miyagawa. Rail infrastructure and roads around it spread only as far as the surrounding alpine terrain allows.

Takayama's old district, Miyagawa crossings, pedestrian routes, and railway fit inside 1.5 kilometres. The compact grid remains distinct from roads approaching the mountain edges.

Print the merchant-house grid in dark timber brown and the Miyagawa in cold gray-blue. Snow-white open ground can separate the rail line from the small historic blocks.
