■ Three Times the Size of Kamurocho! The New Setting of Isezaki Ijincho, Yokohama

Isezaki Ijincho is about three times the size of Kamurocho. Each area has its own personality and charm, including the “Public Employment Security Office District,” “Snack District,” “Brothel District,” “Isezaki Road,” “Kounai Station,” “Chinese Restaurants Alley,” “Korea Town,” “Chinatown,” and “Hamakita Park.”

Public Employment Security Office District

Hello Work Misaki is located in this area, which is where protagonist Ichiban Kasuga and company can go to change jobs. Additionally, the homeless’ living quarters and a street lined with small, suspicious-looking restaurants can also be found here. It is the area with the heaviest atmosphere in Isezaki Ijincho.

—The “district of poverty” is where the homeless congregate. This is where Kasuga wakes up after he was beaten by Masumi Arakawa. It is from here he starts his life in Isezaki Ijincho.

—A desolate lineup of small restaurants. None of the shops actually operate as a small restaurant—they are actually secret brothels.

Korea Town

An area with the atmosphere of a foreign land, where most of signs are written in Hangul. This is also where the base of a mysterious organization called the Geomijul is located. It is a dangerous area.

Chinese Restaurants Alley

An area where the high-end Chinese restaurant Qing-Jin Restaurant is located, which is the stronghold of the Chinese mafia known as the “Yokohama Refugees.” Like Korea Town, this is one of the dangerous areas of Isezaki Ijincho.
