Okushiri
Okushiri is a (made-up) bustling city in Japan. It is home to over 3,000 people at the moment, and is steadily growing as more babies are born and more people move in. If Okushiri had an American counterpart in terms of structure, it was most likely by New York. It has many tall buildings and quite a lot of Jumbotrons attached to said buiildings. Advertisment is everywhere and there are stores at every corner. There's never a dull moment in Okushiri. Not even when it's the wee hours of the morning. The city stays alive twenty-four hours and it has its occupants to thank for that. Traffic is quite terrible, but walking is just as bad. It's crowded on the sidewalks as much as it is on the streets, yet everything somehow runs smoothly. There are three key places in Okushiri that will play important roles in our story. They are the Ki Shopping District, Okushiri Station, and Dīzuni Park.
Ki Shopping District
The Ki Shopping District, which is a little ways away from the heart of Okushiri (so less hustle and bustle), is quite a popular place among the residents. Many like to visit the street that is decorated with different stores, food places, and entertainment spots on both sides. It's a great place to spend time with your friends and family. You could shop for a while before going to grab something to eat while not having to travel far in between. It's also a perfect place to have dates.

Hana (Flower Blossoms)
A flowershop that is either the first thing you see, or the last. It depends where you enter. They are the most recommended flowershop and are filled with friendly, positive workers. The shop is very tranquil.
Aisukurīmu Paresu (Ice Cream Palace)
An ice cream parlor that is famous for its fruity flavors. It's very cute in its design and is always filled with people. It is located across from Hana.
Ginga Dezāto (Galactic Desserts)
A café that is frequently visited because of its unique them. Everything is galaxy related and doesn't seem to be overwhelming. Instead, it's very intriguing and leaves people awestruck. Not to mention that their desserts are "out of this world!" It's located a store down from Hana.
Fukusō Neishon (Attire Nation)
The clothing store that rests between Hana and Ginga Dezāto. It has a very casual, cozy theme. A few of the things sold are sweatpants, sweatshirts, and beanies. The clothing is considered lounge clothing.
Bideo Gēmu Enporiamu (Video Game Emporium)
The arcade that is constantly packed with kids and teenagers alike, along with handfuls of adults. They have games of all and any kind, along with tables to sit down and eat. Unfortunately, it's usually pretty loud. It's located next to Aisukurīmu Paresu.
Ki no Eigakan (Ki Cinemas)
The movie theater of the Ki Shopping District. It's a store down from the arcade. It is always packed, just like everything else. It has quite tasty, yet cheap movie snacks, which is what really draws them in it.
Yōsho Garoa (Books Galore)
A bookstore that may seem small on the outside, but is overflowing with books on the inside. They have comics, nonfiction, manga, and more. They even sell things like bookmarks and merchandise for different popular series. It's located next to Ginga Dezāto.
Reitō Wandārando (Frozen Wonderland)
A skating rink that always has children, teenagers, and adults packed into it. It's a great place to hang out, have parties, or even dates. It's located next to Yōsho Garoa.
Guruguru (Round and Round)
Ki Shopping District doesn't just have an ice skating rink. They also have a roller skating rink as well! The roller skating rink is best to visit at night when they turn off their lights and have neon laser lights. They also have delicious, non-expensive food. It's the building in between Ki no Eigakan and the arcade.

OKUSHIRI STATION
Okushiri Station is located in the heart of Okushiri. It happens to be the only station that is located in the city. Many take it in order to arrive at the famous Dīzuni Park. Besides Dīzuni Park, it can also take people to the four districts in Okushiri—Kita, Minami, Azuma, and Nishi. The station is always overflowing with people because there's always someone trying to get to another district, or trying to spend a day at Dīzuni Park.
Dīzuni Park
Dīzuni Park is located near the Kita District of Okushiri. It's a large amusement park that is heavily influenced by the Disneyland in California. It still manages to have it's own little twists that makes it unique and different from Disneyland. The park is split into two sections—one is the amusement side and the other is the water side. There are different entrances to each side, yet there is also a way to walk through either side to get to the other. Dīzuni Park is the most popular park in Okushiri and is a huge tourist attraction. Some of their most popular rides are listed below.

Takaku Tobimasu (Fly High)
A swing ride that is suited for everyone. It's a peaceful ride that spins you around and moves you up and down. It's not super fast, and nothing is sudden.
Middonaitotī (Midnight Tea)
Another ride that is suited for everyone. It's where you spin around in teacups that are of different colors and designs. Not only does the ride take you around and around, you can also spin your own teacup by rotating the circular table in the middle of it.
Fantajī Yume (Fantasy Dreams)
A carousel that has rides ranging from horses to actual seats. It goes at a pretty moderate pace, but is fun all the same. It's a big hit with all of the children.
Akuma no Kuchi Dzuke (The Serpent's Kiss)
A rollercoaster that does have a height requirement to ride it. It's known for its many twists and turns since it's based off a snake's movement. It's also very fast and quite long.
Rōdoreiji (Road Rage)
What kind of amusement park doesn't have bumper cars? You can either ride with an adult, or by yourself, if you reach the height. The bumper cars are all different colors as well. It's the best ride to express your rage, yet still have fun.
Sekai no Chōten (Top of the World)
Of course, an amusement park isn't an amusement park without a Ferris Wheel. The Ferris Wheel is considered to be in the "middle" of the park. It's the perfect ride to take your date on, and is always a good way to end your visit. At night, it lights up many different colors, so it's hard to miss.
Taki Doroppu (Waterfall Drop)
On the opposite side of the park, this ride consists of a maximum of four people being able to ride inside a log. Like the name states, the ride goes up a steep incline before dropping after a moment of hesitation.
Tatsumaki (Tornado)
Also on the water side of the park, it's a water slide that is shaped much like a tornado, hence the name. A four person ride only; you get into a tube and go sliding down into a funnel shape slide before exiting into the pool on the other side.
