	===~~Tea House 2~~===		===Tsuru-no-Sho Teahouse===
			Tsuru-no-Sho, or “Scroll of the Crane”, is a discreet and exquisite teahouse perched on a stone terrace overlooking the eastern quarter of Fushimi. Hidden behind a wisteria-draped wall and accessible only by a narrow path flanked by moss gardens, it is considered one of the most elegant and exclusive tea houses in the entire Rankai system. Founded generations ago by a former Shiratori courtier turned tea master, Tsuru-no-Sho is designed not for leisure—but for discretion. Its clientele includes clan elders, high-ranking courtiers, merchant lords, and wandering dignitaries, all of whom come not only for the ceremonial perfection of its service but for the privacy it affords.<br>
			The teahouse features a series of secluded chambers, each separated by shoji walls painted with subtle crane motifs and wind-calligraphy. Private rooms are accessible via timed appointments, often booked under false names or clan-neutral titles. The servers—trained in both silence and etiquette—are rumored to be vetted by Clan Hanzo or Shiratori themselves, depending on who you ask. Each chamber is soundproofed and spell-screened, with built-in inkstone stations, hidden compartments for documents, and call-bells for silent service. Seasonal teas are prepared according to traditional rites, using spring-drawn water and utensils polished to mirror-finish. Certain blends, such as Nightfall Chrysanthemum or Starroot Shadow, are exclusive to Tsuru-no-Sho and believed to be laced with minor calming agents or truth-drawing herbs.<br>
			Though officially just a tea house, more treaties have been inked within Tsuru-no-Sho than on any battlefield, and more rivalries cooled over porcelain cups than through entire campaigns. Resistance members, disaffected nobles, and Sith sympathizers alike have all passed through its doors—though never at the same time, and never by name. In Fushimi, where words are sharper than swords, Tsuru-no-Sho offers not just tea, but sanctuary—a place where alliances are quietly born, and powerful decisions are made in the rustle of sleeves and the clink of a kettle.<br>

	===~~Tea House 1~~===		===Chidori Teahouse===
			Chidori Teahouse, named after the "plover bird" often associated with resilience and return, is one of Fushimi’s oldest and most beloved public establishments. Nestled along the Aizu River’s middle district, just outside the ceremonial quarter, it serves as a peaceful gathering point for travelers, couriers, merchants, wandering monks, and locals alike. Unlike the exclusive salons of the noble clans or the themed parlors of the Entertainment District, Chidori is open to all—from wandering ronin and exiled scholars to flower vendors and postriders. Its architecture is humble but refined: pale wood beams, a broad veranda overlooking the river, and seasonal ikebana displays hand-arranged each morning by the owner’s apprentice.<br>
			The teahouse is famous for its blended infusions, including mountain leaf sencha, plum blossom tisane, and a smoky blackroot brew favored by Heaven Guard veterans. The space is quiet, respectful, and communal. Guests share long, low tables or sit on tatami mats beside the hearth, and conversation is encouraged only in gentle tones. Above all, Chidori is known as a place of rest and neutrality. Stories abound of warring retainers who accidentally shared tea here and walked out with a truce—or of Resistance couriers slipping coded messages between cups in plain sight. Even Hanzo informants are said to treat Chidori as sacred ground: a place not to whisper secrets, but to forget them.<br>

Wall Market

	===Wall Market===		===Wall Market===
			Tucked into a crumbling ravine beneath the southern edges of Fushimi's Entertainment District lies The Wall Market—an infamous and chaotic hive of dueling arenas, pit fighting, underground games, and raw survival. Once a failed construction project meant to expand the district’s trade routes, the site was abandoned after a rockslide collapsed part of the outer cliff. Over time, it was reclaimed by the desperate, the exiled, and the lawless. Now a renegade coliseum and black-market hub, the Wall Market thrives as a proving ground for warriors too wild for the clans, too dishonored for the courts, or too skilled to be ignored. Combatants fight for coin, pride, or redemption, beneath a towering stone wall covered in carved names, scars, and graffiti-like clan symbols—hence the name. Some mark victories. Others, deaths.<br>
			Though illegal in name, the Wall Market is quietly tolerated by the great clans, especially the Tendou and Kurayama, who find it useful as a place to test experimental weapons, spy on rival talents, or offload troublesome retainers. Wagers are common, blood is expected, and honor is optional. The Marker’s deeper chambers host everything from weapon traders and unlicensed cyber-smiths to Force-imbued relic dealers and bio-mod artisans who offer enhancement syringes drawn from creatures long extinct. At its core lies the Marker Pit, an open dueling arena where battles are fought under torchlight before a roaring, masked crowd. Winning earns gold and infamy. Losing earns scars—or worse.<br>
			Despite its brutality, the Wall Market also serves a strange justice: in a world of dynasties and whispers, it is one of the few places where skill alone determines fate. Many Resistance sympathizers pass through here, recruiting among the broken, the bitter, or the bored. More than one war hero or clan outcast found their purpose again by surviving the Marker—and carving their name into the wall themselves.

	===Hanami Parlor===		===Hanami Parlor===
			Hidden behind a lacquered gate adorned with painted petals and soft wind chimes, the Hanami Parlor is one of the most quietly exclusive oiran houses in all of Fushimi—and one of its most whispered about. On the surface, it appears to be a refined, almost ethereal establishment: minimalist in design, perfumed with rare blossoms, and known for its hauntingly beautiful performances under drifting petals. But beneath the elegance lies something far more calculated.<br>
			The Hanami Parlor is secretly operated by Clan Hanzo, its true purpose cloaked beneath veils of incense and choreography. Its oiran are not merely entertainers—they are observers, informants, and sometimes agents, carefully selected from the rarest bloodlines and species across Hoshi-no-Kuni. The parlor specializes in the “exotic”—non-human oiran of uncommon origin, each one captivating in ways that defy explanation. Their mystique draws in nobles, scholars, and generals alike—those who desire what is rare, and who often speak too freely in the presence of wonder.<br>
			While patrons believe they are indulging in rare pleasures, many are in truth being assessed, compromised, or subtly manipulated. Secrets spilled in whispered poetry or over a lover’s sigh may be passed that same night to Hanzo handlers, or used in negotiations elsewhere by dawn. Despite its hidden purpose, the Hanami Parlor remains in high demand—not in spite of the danger, but because of it. In a city where every pleasure masks a price, Hanami offers the rarest indulgence: to be seen, truly and fully, by something inhuman—and to surrender, even briefly, to the beauty of it.<br>

	===Treno House of Pleasures===		===Treno House of Pleasures===
			A crown jewel of Fushimi’s Entertainment District, the Treno House is a luxurious, multi-tiered pleasure palace known for far more than oiran. It is equal parts salon, casino, gallery, and auction house—a haven for aristocrats, collectors, wealthy merchants, and thrill-seekers with a taste for elegance and danger. The Treno House’s exterior is understated yet imposing: lacquered stone, golden lanterns, and a sweeping staircase flanked by lion statues carved from onyx. Inside, its halls are labyrinthine, adorned with rare paintings, imported sculptures, and chandeliers of crystal sourced from offworld decades ago. The House prides itself on its tiered floors, each one catering to a different vice or indulgence—from fine dining and performance arts to high-stakes gambling and underground auctions.<br>
			The upper levels are reserved for the elite: discreet rooms where priceless heirlooms change hands, antique weapons are bartered over whispered wagers, and exclusive invitation-only card tournaments unfold beneath painted ceilings. The Treno House casino is fully legal—on paper—and draws challengers from across the system, some of whom have wagered not just fortunes, but titles and land. The establishment also houses a famed collector’s hall, where rare artifacts and oddities from across Rankai and beyond are displayed, often available for silent bidding or private sale. More than one stolen relic has discreetly found its way here, resurfacing behind glass under the pretense of “anonymous donation.”<br>
			While oiran are still part of Treno’s appeal, they are considered theatrical courtesans, trained in performance, philosophy, and subtle manipulation. Their role is as much to elevate status as to entertain. To be seen escorted by a Treno companion is to signal wealth, education, and discretion. Though Clan Kurayama is often suspected to have ties to the House, its ownership remains officially anonymous—another open secret few are foolish enough to question. To visit the Treno House is to step into a world where every moment is a performance, every smile a negotiation, and every indulgence an opportunity. In Fushimi, power wears many faces—and Treno provides the masks.<br>
