Tokyo-F: or otherwise, the Greater Tokyo Metropolis Area, which spans the prefectures of Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, and Chiba.
By now the city is somewhat busier; as of day 200, all parks in Tokyo-F are real flora and you can find fauna all around the city. The animals are marked with highly reflective, brightly colored plastic tabs, that if caught indicate their natural habitat in hell (some you might recognize from various mythologies, some seem to be gibberish or at least unknown to you) and certifies them as hell native. Besides these markings, they're just the regular ecosystem you'd find in the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan area—fish included!
Just as Tokyo in real world Earth is, the city is full of glass-walled high rises and meticulous roads crisscrossing over subway stations. Beyond the buildings listed on this page, however, it's all set dressing: empty buildings with no running water, as though the businesses have closed down. Eerily though, as of Day 228, the whole city has running electricity, in case you need an outlet somewhere. The Rainbow Bridge is completely lit, looking almost indistinguishable from a constellation when marveling at it from a distance; the nights aren't so dark, now.
Once a certain amount of points have been earned by all the units combined, a new area will unlock. Characters will get to ICly submit their preferences for what they unlock, be it library, bar, museum, movie theater, working subway, or whatever else. Currently, units need to earn 100,000 points combined to unlock something new.

Dorms: JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Shinjuku back to top
The building the dorms are housed in has one floor per unit, along with a large lobby ground floor that acts as a shared space. The outside and location match the JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Shinjuku, but of course the inside is nothing like the real one. With the working subway system, you're a five minute walk and a 20 minute direct train ride from Harajuku, Akihabara, and Shibuya.
As of Day 303, you can find a red mailbox just outside of the hotel.
As of Day 314, there is a parking garage available close-by. You can access the parking garage via flat escalator attached to the hotel. Vehicles parked around the hotel will automagically be transported to the parking garage.
As of Day 397, another set of elevators have been added to the hotel for vehicles, large animals, heavy machinery, etc. Even if it looks like it wouldn't fit, it will somehow fit. Physics!
Near the elevator is also a giant doghouse, in which lives a large dog, aptly called The Hound (at least for now).
Details of the hotel, as well as details on individual dorms, may be found on the dorms info page.
Park: Shinjuku Gyoen back to top
15min from hotel (walking)
(no train available)
5min from hotel (driving)
It's Shinjuku Gyoen. A really big park with a French formal garden, an English landscape, and a traditional Japanese landscape. There's a greenhouse full of tropical and subtropical flowers, as well as a traditional teahouse. Since this is a real location, you can probably google this place if you want to know more specifics, but you can also handwave and not match the real thing exactly. It's fake Tokyo, not real Tokyo, you don't have to worry too much about accuracy.
Game Tower: Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building back to top
10min from hotel (walking)
(no train available)
5min from hotel (driving)
Is this a Megaten game, or something? This place looks like it came straight out of one. For some reason, games are held in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. Everything except the lobby is locked and inaccessible, and during games, the elevators will open to take characters up to whichever floor the game is being held on, always remodeled to accommodate whatever the game needs. Needless to say, the inside isn't very much like the real one.
As of Day 423, there is now a table-long 3D model of Japan in the Game Tower's lobby.
Public Transit: Tokyo Railway System back to top
The subway and above-ground Yamanote Line are now up and running in Tokyo-F! The trains come at the same intervals of their real-life counterparts, and with the lack of other commuters are always on time. All the stations are now also in operation: with maps of the different lines, schedules, and turnstiles that require your cellphone to be used as a commuter pass. If you attempt to take the train out of Tokyo, it loops back around and you find yourself heading back into the city.
Hospital: Digestive Disease Center, Showa University Koto Toyosu Hospital back to top
2hr30min from hotel (walking)
45min from hotel (train)
25min from hotel (driving)
A full hospital, large and operational! Too bad about the lack of staff, and the fact this is a digestive disease center. It's built to provide state of the art care for those suffering from digestive diseases, and has all the equipment needed to detect and treat esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, hepatobiliary carcinoma, inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, so on and so forth! In other words, it's totally useless for your needs other than providing a lot of hospital beds and a cool place to film lives, but honestly what else were you expecting? It definitely looks cool tho.
Hot Springs: Oedo-Onsen Monogatari back to top
3hr15min from hotel (walking)
50min from hotel (train)
20min from hotel (driving)
It's Tokyo's biggest onsen theme park. A three-hour walk from Shinjuku Gyoen and you have to cross the Rainbow Bridge to get there, but it's worth it! Probably. After all, it has everything you could want from an onsen— a big open air bath, certainly, but baths full of bubbles, one foot bath full of little fish that eat away at dead skin cells, traditional wooden tubs, a lazy river full of small smooth stones to walk through, rock salt saunas, free massage chairs. . . There's even free yukata rentals (exchange out your uniform for your stay, but you'd better return it to get your outfit back!) at the front, and a lantern-decorated traditional festival grounds, with carnival games! Throw ninja stars, scoop goldfish, all of that. Unfortunately all the food vendors are closed, so probably you'll want to bring your lunch with you. Fortunately, it is open 24/7, so you could have late-night baths if you wanted to!
Public Library: Seikei University back to top
2hr45min from hotel walking)
40min from hotel (train)
30min from hotel (driving)
Located a three hour walk to the west of the dorms, the library is big, with its 2 basements, 5 floors above ground, and 1 rooftop floor all with a neat sort of sci-fi look, and isolation pods for meetings that it'd be hard to spy on without seeing the eavesdropper! The collection has been changed around, though; rather than the actual library of the Seikei University, the books cover all sorts of topics. Basically any real life non-fiction you'd like to find (without breaking the fourth-wall) is here, or can be ordered through the library "branch catalogue" system. The fictional section is a little more sparse… anything in the public domain is here, but once you start hitting the days of modern media you stop being able to find anything and instead find the same issue you have with the movie selection on the purchasing app— most everything is violent, twisted, hedonistic, and unnecessarily dramatic. Unless it's a spy novel. Those have pretty much been left be.
Library books may be checked out as many as 20 at time, and are due back two IC weeks after they were checked out. Failure to return them results in the books returning themselves and vanishing from where they have been kept and reappearing at the library.
Gymnasium: ésforta back to top
50min from hotel (walking)
20min from hotel (train)
15min from hotel (driving)
About 45 minutes away from the hotel is the new gym, ésforta. This fitness gym is, frankly, a luxurious establishment, with extensive, easily accessible gym equipment as well as a large sound-proofed studio for meditation and freeform exercises. Plus, not only is there a heated pool, but there's also a jacuzzi and a sauna for relaxing after the workout! There are free towels to be found here as well as mats, dumbbells, etc. There's also a field with artificial grass for running or playing outdoor sportsballs if you want to do that.
Café: Alfred Tea Room back to top
45min from hotel (walking)
20min from hotel (train)
10min from hotel (driving)
The Alfred Tea Room in Aoyama, 40 minutes away from the hotel, is absolutely adorable and hip. Coffee, bubble tea, small cakes, croissants—everything is instagrammable picture perfect food and the cafe itself is cute and stylish to go along with it. (You can find an English menu here, but it isn't 100% accurate—you can generally make up and assume 'cute cafe foods' for ease of play.) There are no employees—it's self-serve through a new app that downloads on your phone. Once you order something on the menu, it will appear at the pick up counter like magic. Food here is free, but the cafe is only open from 9AM to 9PM; after that, the doors are locked. Even if you break in after dark, food no longer appears and the app notes your order will be processed in the morning.
Horse Stables: Tokyo Riding Club, Yoyogi Park, Shibuya back to top
20min from hotel (walking)
15min from hotel (train)
5min from hotel (driving)
20 minutes walk south of the hotel brings you to Shibuya's Yoyogi Park, and more specifically, their Tokyo Riding Club!. At the stables, horses and their necessities can be found. An automatic system has been set up to monitor them and provide feed as needed, as well as clean up after them, but it is recommended you help take care of them too. Technically, the riding club just rides in the Northwest corner of Yoyogi park, but no one is going to stop you from riding your horse through the city if you wish it.
Arcade: Taito Station Shinjuku GameWorld back to top
10min from hotel (walking)
(no train available)
5min from hotel (driving)
Ten minutes walking distance north of the hotel sits Taito Station, open 10 AM to 1 AM for your… mostly all day gaming needs! About six floors with a bright red exterior that proclaims they're Taito Station, they're hard to miss. Inside, they've got the whole gamut—UFO catchers filled with toys (mostly of you and the other idols, but there's some plain jane stuffed animals here too), fighting games, shooting games, rhythm games, racing games, and so on and so forth.
Amusement Park: Yomiuri Land back to top
4hr50min from hotel (walking)
50min from hotel (train)
30min from hotel (driving)
The biggest amusement park in the area of Tokyo proper, Yomiuri land has 44 attractions, including four roller coasters, a ferris wheel with views of (the unreachable) Mount Fuji, five pools, and three water slides! In the spring the park's thousand cherry blossoms reach full bloom, and in the winter the park lights up at night with jewel-like illumination displays. Its only drawbacks are really its long distance from the hotel—an hour on the KEIO subway line, and the fact its food stalls are as empty as the ones at the onsen… But pack a picnic lunch, and you're set.
Grocery Store: Daiei Hatagaya back to top
35min from hotel (walking)
10min from hotel (train)
5min from hotel (driving)
Located in the Shibuya ward, this grocery store is open 24 hours for all your late night needs. With grocery baskets located near the front, the shelves are stocked with meat and fish, fruit, vegetables, bags of rice, condiments, a limited selection of cheese, and so on and so forth. Like the cafe it's unstaffed, and payment is unnecessary. That said, unlike the real version, there's no precooked meals or prepackaged snacks—it's all ingredients and raw food. Great and free, if you're willing to put the time in.
Convenience Store: All Conbinis Everywhere back to top
Over fifty stores are open in the city: all of them are convenience stores. 7-11, Lawson, FamilyMart, Mini Stop, Seicomart, Daily Yamazaki—all of them are open 24/7 with every shelf fully stocked. You can packaged food at any of these shops—some of them even offer seasonal items!—and they'll mystically restock when you're not looking . . . or maybe they won't. It seems inconsistent when they're stocked again, so don't trust that the corner store will always and foreverially have an infinite number of endless meat buns; you might have to ransack another conbini or switch off between a couple of them.
Besides food, you might also want to use the store for something else: while you have a banking app on your phone, there are also ATMs wherein you can access your points bank to transfer points, either with your name attached or anonymously. You can't withdraw or deposit money, though; there are no physical feeders or tenders. What would a point even look like, physically speaking . . .
There are also copiers, though not in every convenience store (player choice on which ones have them and which don't). They're capable of connecting wirelessly to your cell phones, if you'd like to print out pictures!
Movie Theater: Shinjuku Piccadilly Cinema back to top
15min from hotel (walking)
10min from hotel (train)
5min from hotel (driving)
The Shinjuku Piccadilly Cinema is a new glitzy multiplex cinema with ten screens of movies to watch. There's also a platinum seating area, where rather than the usual rows of seats, there's rows of loveseats to cuddle on when watching from the balcony, so it's just at eye-level and no need to crane your heads back. The movies shown on the upper floors tend to be old black and white films, while in the middle there's Hell's equivalent of art house films mixed in with real art house films. If you wanted to watch Under the Skin or Neon Demon, here's the place for it. Hell takes on anime and mainstream movies show on the lower floors, with things from exciting yakuza and heist films to demonic takes on harem anime because—it's Hell, where did you think bad harem anime came from?
Dead Zone: Honmachi Sakura Park back to top
25min from hotel (walking)
15min from hotel (train)
10min from hotel (driving)
On Imeejigle maps, this seems like a normal park—and it mostly is, except for the crater in its dead center where a meteor(?) once fell. Strangely, technology seems to stop working in most of the park—all cameras are dead and phones shut down until you leave the area. Recently, however, unit abilities have been working. The flora is completely wiped out at the crash site, and those with corruptions may find the area to be somewhat uncomfortable to be in, although it is by no means unbearable.
The sky above is fractured, cracks running through the very fabric of reality itself, piercing the darkness with an unfading light, and from that fracture comes down a bright, golden chain, which from a distance looks like a beam of light, down to the center of the crater where a giant anchor lies. Those with corruptions who touch the chain and anchor are burned, and such burns are incapable of being healed by sensitIVs. The chain itself, mariner links pulled taut, almost looks like a ladder or a staircase—and indeed, you could take it all the way up to the cracks if you wanted to. From here, you can see the beginnings of what appears to be filigreed bars of gates at the cracks, where the chain ends.
Love Hotel: Hotel Meguro Emperor back to top
1hr35min from hotel (walking)
25min from hotel (train)
20min from hotel (driving)
Take the Yamanote line from the hotel and in half an hour's time you'll reach it: the fantasy adventure love hotel, Hotel Meguro Emperor, which certainly lives up to its name. On the outside is all the makings of a medieval castle, made of towers and spires; on the inside is . . . well, it depends on where you go, really. You might enter a pirate ship's cabin, or a bird cage, or a room that looks like the busy streets of Roppongi at night, complete with ambient sounds. You might find a car in your room, which is actually your bed, or you might find a carousel for two . . . ?
It's a surprise no matter which room you go to and there are new rooms introduced all the time; you only need to choose one from the front desk, and a gondola (seriously this hotel historically had a gondola) will take you to your destination. Naturally once you arrive, even in the craziest of themed rooms you'll find all the necessities that you need, although "borrowing" things from the hotel has them disappearing from the dorms in about two weeks, just like the books at the library. After the room has been used, that particular room is shut down for an hour before it can be reused, with everything completely sterilized and ready for the next customer.
There are, unfortunately, also still cameras to be found, albeit placed in some inconspicuous places. On the flip side, everything explicit that's recorded seems to be censored and pixelated, and all fanmail reflects that.
(For OOC reference/inspiration, the interior of Hotel Meguro Emperor uses Hotel Public Jam of Osaka.)
Public Theatre: Setagaya back to top
1hr25min from hotel (walking)
25min from hotel (train)
20min from hotel (driving)
In the Setagaya ward, there's a performance hall open for use—or rather, there are two. In the aptly named Setagaya Public Theatre, the main theatre holds up to 600 people—there's no way you could get that many people in, but—and has no less than five dressing rooms for the bigger productions; the seats themselves can be steeply elevated to the ancient Grecian open form of theatre seats for idols to be up close and personal, or they can be gently elevated in proscenium form for performing idols to be more separated from the crowd. Complete with the roof opening for an open-air stage, the main theatre has all you could possibly need for a professional performance of any kind.
If you're looking for a smaller place to perform though, there's the sister theatre in the building next door; situated right next to the train station, the cozy Theatre Tram holds up to 225 people—again, no way you could get that many people in, but—and has three dressing rooms as well as adjustable seating, once more for open form or proscenium form, although the roof doesn't open here.
Diner: THE GREAT BURGER back to top
40min from hotel (walking)
20min from hotel (train)
10min from hotel (driving)
Just a few blocks away from the Alfred Tea Room is THE GREAT BURGER, an American-themed diner. As one might suspect from a name like THE GREAT BURGER, the venue offers primarily grilled burgers on the menu, ranging from classic items like the cheeseburger and bacon burger to some originals like mango burgers and asparagus burgers. They also offer breakfast—pancakes and hashbrowns and eggs—as well as grilled sandwiches and milkshakes. Just take a seat and order on your phone, and your meal will be rolled out on a conveyor belt that digs into the wall in about ten minutes!
Amusement Park: Tokyo DismaySea back to top
4hr45min from hotel (walking)
1hr10min from hotel (train)
40min from hotel (driving)
Welcome to Tokyo DismaySea! It's a wonderful place with a number of water-themed attractions. You can visit the Italian themed Mediterranean Harbor that lets you traverse the port through gondolas, or you can take a dark boat ride through the Arabian harbor directly to the double decker carousel. It's a pretty big place though, so be careful! If you take a backalley winding river through the Mediterranean Harbor and you'll end up in the ruins of an ancient Aztec pyramid; take a wrong turn in the dark boat ride and you won't end up in the Arabian harbor—you'll end up underwater, in the Mermaid Lagoon!
You can find, in general, all the Tokyo DisneySea attractions and locations here, although the exact method of reaching every location tends to be different with every trip, with variations even within the trip: you might have turned left from the American Waterfront to go to Port Discovery, but when you turn back to the American Waterfront, you might find yourself in Mount Prometheus instead, just a half step away from being 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
The restaurants are fully operational; just the same as any restaurant in Tokyo-F, you can order on your phone and you'll receive your meal posthaste; if you're eating in, they'll appear via conveyor belt, and if you're going for takeout, your order will be available at pickup desk.
Of course, that's not all; after all, the rides and the restaurants are only 2/3 of the reason why one would visit Tokyo DismaySea! You can also watch the wonderful shows and parades that the staff put on, which play every half hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Interestingly, every member of the staff that produce the show are all wearing costumes, if not straight up fursuits. The shows they perform are fantastic feats, but—! As expected of Tokyo-F, they're all a little on the gruesome side, and they're all pretty dramatic.
The staff never stops working, and they don't stop for you. If you have a question about the park, they'll helpfully (and silently) direct you to the front of the amusement park, where you can find not-so-helpful pamphlets that mostly just detail what attractions you could find, if you managed to find your way, ever. There's also a lost and found in the front, which mysteriously has anything you lost on a ride, even if you just lost it a few minutes ago . . .
The fireworks are hosted every night, dazzling and beautiful.
Bakery: Tokyo Freundlieb back to top
1hr10min from hotel (walking)
25min from hotel (train)
20min from hotel (driving)
A little ways before Hotel Meguro Emperor is the German styled bakery, Tokyo Freundlieb. It offers a variety of breads, cakes, cookies, and even jams. There's even a gift delivery service, although it works a little differently from how you order food there. You can order food for yourself via the menu on your phone, but if you want to send any of their gift packages, you'll have to use the ○Pad that's available at the pickup desk. You'll see that you can order any of the gift packages (or any of the regular menu items) to be delivered directly to a unit's doorstep, along with flowers and a card if you like, and you can have it delivered whenever you like, with a minimum of 10 minutes before the package actually arrives at their door if you order it to be delivered ASAP. Wow! Isn't that nice?
(Note: As of late March 2020, the bakery closed IRL. In order to preserve the website's menu, the link goes to the wayback machine's archived version of the site.)
Ski Resort: Sayama Indoor Skiing Ground back to top
6hr30min from hotel (walking)
1hr from hotel (train)
1hr10min from hotel (driving)
One would expect the Sayama Indoor Skiing Grounds to be disappointing; it's in a building, after all, and generally indoor ski grounds use fake snow—and certainly, from the outside it looks like it would be pretty disappointing for those who wished for it. Step inside though, and you'll find yourself at the base of what seems to be an actual, bonafide mountain, complete with real snow and a sky that's always slightly cloudy (although it otherwise follows the day/night cycle of Tokyo-F).
There are ski lifts that take you to various points of the mountain: easy, smaller slopes for beginners, slightly steeper and higher slopes for those with a little more confidence, and the higher Danger Zone (TM) for the most experienced (or, the most reckless). Equipment is available for all sorts of activities—skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and even hiking, although none can be taken out: trying to leave with anything from the skiing grounds results in the equipment being left behind, as though there were some sort of barrier at the threshold.
The very first ski lift offers a ride, not to the easiest slope, but to the ski lodge that's also accessible from other areas of the mountain. There are always just enough private rooms for however many people are visiting (maybe not enough, oops! time to share with someone), and a large, circular fireplace with blankets and towels and comfortable seating for people to warm themselves up after a long day of snowy fun. The private rooms are all identical: rustic log cabin-esque decor with full-sized beds, in-unit washer/dryer for your clothes, and shower stalls.
At 7AM, noon, and 7PM, food is available in the lobby: the selection is generally limited, erring on the side of heavy, greasy, and high in carbs. You definitely don't want to eat here every day, but its menu seems to be primed to provide lots of energy for a mountainside adventure.
The rest of the view is a mountainscape, unreachable; just like the limits of the city, trying to go past the designated mountain is like going on a treadmill: walk and run as much as you like, you'll always end up in the same place.
The skiing ground is open from 6AM to midnight. If you're inside while the resort closes, you'll be stuck there until morning . . . well, it's not the worst place to be stuck in, except—past close the weather seems to actually change, from cloudless skies to blizzards that clear up right at 6AM sharp.
If you end up getting stuck, you'd better stay inside the lodge until morning.
Art Gallery: Hara Museum of Contemporary Art back to top
2hr from hotel (walking)
30min from hotel (train)
25min from hotel (driving)
The Hara Museum of Contemporary Art is indeed filled with many works of art that spans anywhere from the late 20th century to the early 2000s, with both a souvenir shop and a café that offers merchandise goods (keychains, folders, posters, etc) based off those works of art, as well as foods plated to mimic the works showcased there. However, for the artistically inclined (or otherwise, those who think they are artistically inclined), the real appeal is this: you may submit your artwork in the North Wing, which is otherwise empty, to be showcased. Once you do, the souvenir shop and the café add merchandise and food based off your artwork! You can arrange the artworks as you like, and when you do, there are even little plates that provide your name (or pseudonym) as well as space for a title and even a little blurb. There are frames made available for canvas and paper work, as well as supporting materials if you need them, e.g. wires to hang whatever work. If it's particularly big, you may find it moved the next time you see it, or otherwise the museum to be reshaped to accommodate it.
Park, Museums, Temples, Zoo: Ueno Park back to top
1hr55min from hotel (walking)
35min from hotel (train)
30min from hotel (driving)
Ueno Park is pretty far away from the hotel, but it's worth the trip. Not only is it one of the best cherry blossom parks in Tokyo, but it's also home to several shrines and temples. There's the Kaneiji temple, dedicated to many objects of worship but primarily to the Buddha of healing and medicine; it's also the burial site for several Tokugawa-era shoguns, has a five storied pagoda and a large pond with an "island" Buddhist temple, Bentendo, dedicated to the goddess of good fortune, wealth, music, and knowledge. Overlooking the Shinobazu Pond and Bentendo is the Buddhist temple Kiyomizu Kannon, which is actually a copy of a temple of the same name in Kyoto—it's like going to Las Vegas for the Eiffel Tower!—dedicated to the goddess of conception. Finally, there's the Shinto shrine Ueno Toshogu, which is believed to be associated with success, victory, health, and longevity; the Tokugawas are primarily worshipped here, enshrined as gods. Here, there is a botanical garden of all kinds of peonies. Every temple offers amulets and charms, although no one's manning the booths.
It's also home to several museums: the Tokyo National Museum, with a collection of national treasures and cultural icons (are they real!? did they get the real treasures here!?); the National Museum of Nature and Science, where you can even see !!dinosaurs!!; the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, with exhibitions of all forms of art changing every day; the National Museum of Western Art—the same as the Metropolitan Art Museum, only the rotating catalog is exclusively European art; and finally, the Shitamachi Museum, with exhibits that reconstruct what life was like in the Meiji and Showa eras.
Interestingly, there isn't any staff for most of the museums; however, at the Shitamachi Museum, you can vaguely see ghost-like outlines re-enacting silent Meiji and Showa period dramas for you, although as usual with their own bloody and over-the-top twist.
There's one last stop at Ueno Park: the zoo. It's home to over 400 species, with even polar bears and giraffes and kangaroos! Somehow, there aren't any people staffed here, and the animals here look pretty . . . wild? Well, they seem to be being fed properly, somehow—you can sometimes catch them eating anything from prepared meat to live prey, if you're lucky.
All locations in Ueno park open at 9AM and close at 5PM on the dot; once they do, all the lights switch off and all the doors and gates lock, barring access. If you were inside one of these facilities when they closed, you'll find yourself being pushed back to the entrance.
Shopping Center: AQUA CiTY ODAIBA back to top
2hr50min from hotel (walking)
40min from hotel (train)
25min from hotel (driving)
A short walk away from the hot springs park is AQUA CiTY ODAIBA, a shopping district with a lot to offer! . . . Just, maybe not all of it's relevant to you. For example, every restaurant there is open, as well as the movie theatre (same rules as the other movie theatre), and if you're the religious sort then you can also visit the Shinto shrine, but a daycare? Pet care? I mean, you can put people and pets into the place and set a timer for how long you want them to be in there, up to 2 hours for people and up to 4 days for pets, and they can't leave unless someone lets them out, but . . . . ??? Is this just baby jail now??
Besides that, there are clothing stores that have entirely unit-themed clothing, although in various sizes so you can try them out when you shop—however, you won't be able to leave the store with the clothes if someone from that unit doesn't pay for them at the self-service kiosk. They'll just stay behind and disappear if you try, and then you'll be kicked out. Don't do that!
Even though the shopping mall is available, items must still be paid for unless they're food, in which case food is just free and that's nice. Items that are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand may be free though!
All the "fandom" spaces have been taken over by your idol merchandise. In other words, those areas are cursed now.
Things that might negate a unit's ability are not available, e.g. the clothing repair store is not available and the bar charges for liquor at 100 points per glass (although you can still order it there, at least!). The main draw in this place seems to be #1 the view, so close to the ocean, #2 the food, #3 being able to try out clothes without being constrained to someone else's size, and #4 the baby pen, aka the daycare.
Department Store: OIOI (Marui) back to top
10min from hotel (walking)
10min from hotel (train)
5min from hotel (driving)
Located between the arcade and the movie theatre, the Marui department store is easily recognized by its stylish OIOI sign. Its target demographic seems to be younger people—fitting for idols!—and the building itself is pretty tall, with 9 above ground floors and 2 underground floors:9th floor: The food court with a global menu: Italian, Russian, Swiss, Japanese, Indian, Korean, American, and French foods are available here, with quality varying day by day as though it depends on who's working that shift. You don't need to pay, here.
8th floor: Home goods, as well as gardening and indoor/outdoor furniture. Everything is divided by unit aesthetic, and you can't leave without paying the self-serve kiosk at the door: any attempts to take things with you without paying results in you being kicked out of the floor without anything. Repeated attempts get you kicked out and unable to re-enter for 24 hours. It's not nice to steal!
You can only purchase from your unit section, although you can try out everything from every section. Try sleeping in those Heart Soldier Senshi tubes, you know you want to. Everything on this floor is anywhere from 700 to 1000 points.
7th floor: There's a 100 point store for everything you could by for 100 points! Besides that, it's more men's fashion, divided into unit sections and position colors. You can't buy anything that's not to your unit, although you can buy things that aren't your position color and you can buy things that aren't your size. You can't leave the store if you haven't paid for anything, though—same rules apply as the above.
6th floor: It is ENTIRELY shoes, divided into unit sections and position colors, but with every size of shoe available. Same rules apply as above.
5th floor: There's a hobby store here with more home goods, lifestyle goods, life improvement goods, etc! There's also accessories for men here, with bags and watches and glasses and sunglasses. Accessories and such are divided by unit and position color, can't buy outside of your unit, same rules apply as above. Smaller, cheaper items in the hobby store are free to take with you—anything that fits in your palm—but everything else needs to be bought at a flat rate of 200 points per item (or pack of item, if it's like, a pack of folders).
4th floor: Women's wear, lingerie, home decor, lifestyle goods, and cosmetics! Clothing et al is divided up into unit sections, same as above. Cosmetics are sold at 50 points per pack, home decor and lifestyle goods are sold at 200 points per item or pack of item.
3rd floor: Ladies' fashion! Lingerie! A nail salon! A hair salon! A massage center! A reflexology center! The fashion must be paid for, same as above rules, and getting your nails or your hair done is 100 points and can't be anything inhuman, but everything else is free! I don't know what a reflexology center is!
2nd floor: General clothing for men and women and children—most clothes you'll find in all other floors of the store will have sizes for teens to adults, but if you're smaller than the average teen you might have to shop here. Unit division, must pay, same rules apply. There's also a Hawaiian cafe here which is free!
1st floor: Women's accessories, bags, jewelry, cosmetics, etc! Everything is 50-100 points here. There's a matcha tea place here ✨
B1: There's a St**bux, an ice cream parlor, a crepe shop, a mackerel shop if you want!? As well as a supermarket. You don't have to pay on this floor.
B2: It's a lifestyle goods store but it's ENTIRELY filled with idol merchandise, and it's ALL you. All you. All of you. Photos of various times that you could be recorded (stick with fanmail rules), fanworks being sold without permission, promotional materials, walkmans that have just ONE line recorded of an idol's (stick with fanmail rules!) and you won't know until you purchase them, shirts with your face on them, boob mouse pads, dakimakura, voodoo dolls, etc, etc, etc. It's fanmail but . . . all the time. You don't need to pay in this store because you've already lost something more valuable (furi: dignity/innocence/the lack of need to use brain bleach) than points.
Olive Garden: Olive Garden back to top
3hr30min from hotel (walking)
35min from hotel (train)
40min from hotel (driving)
The Olive Garden is not quite what one might expect—even on the approach, it swiftly becomes clear something is off here. For one, instead of the imposing yet welcoming and warm brick facade with a large sign ushering you into OLIVE GARDEN, visitors are greeted by a quaint little green cottage. What's more, the concrete walkway is replaced with a front yard of some sort! Indeed, a large area filled in with stones with graceful animal-shaped stepping stones is what marks the space before the cottage's entrance. Sat upon this yard are large tables on top of which a wide variety of vividly colorful flowers, herbs, and fruit-and-vegetable bearing plants sit in individual and painstakingly hand-decorated pots. They are all young, fragile things—the pots small enough to be carried in hand—and the plants change with what passes for seasons in Tokyo-F. And most gravely is a final insult, a resounding, stinging slap to the face that leaves the soul cold and dejected: upon entry one finds not a grandiose dining hall with faux-fireplaces and a sneezeguard equipped salad bar, but instead...a small, warm, and cozy space with shelves and stands full of gardening supplies, a check-out counter, and a cash register.
A door leads out to the back, where a towering and tarpestried chain link fence surrounds an area much like the front yard but over twice the size—a nursery, where the next generation of foliage is protected and cared for! Filled to the brim not just with flowers and herbs but also tree saplings and shrub starts. And of the trees—could it be? yes, finally!—it must be noted that greatest among their number are the olive trees, the adult forms of which dominate the area and provide shade to the plants that need it. A wandering hellcat is the Olive Garden's only inhabitant, presenting itself for pets whenever most inconvenient for any given guest.
It might not be what was expected, but still, but still! Let calm wash over you and soothe your indignance! Be not afraid my children, for this is your song—the serenity of the nursery brings a moment of absolute clarity which makes it impossible to shake the weight of the ultimate truth: truly, you know now that when you're here, you're family.
(And yet...and yet! In a far corner of the yard, in the center of a hexagon of adult olive trees, a steel hatch can be found acting as a lonesome sentinel of a long-lost treasure. Emblazoned on its heavy metal frame are the half-worn words "FOR OUR QUEEN" followed by one image: 🐇. Word on the street is that supplicating yourself to the family of olives by bowing and presenting a payment of 200 points followed by knocking three times on the hatch will grant entry into a secret world: one forbidden by the law, and ever more popular for its illegality. This is the grandiose warm brick dining hall, its earth-toned tiled flooring dimly lit by the fiercely roaring digital fireplaces. A salad bar sits right in its middle, and in that salad bar is the holy grail of diners: the coveted endless supply of garlicky, buttery breadsticks. Truly, this is the true face of the Olive Garden—a speakeasy hidden away from those who would take from the people their rightful prize!)
Dungeon Crawler: REAL ESCAPE ROOM back to top
2hr20min from hotel (walking)
35min from hotel (train)
30min from hotel (driving)
Across the river from Ueno Park and about 4 minutes away from the station in Asakusa is the REAL ESCAPE ROOM which is totally and definitely and ABSOLUTELY, a REAL ESCAPE ROOM. There are only three Escape Rooms available for entry, for up to parties of 8, and all of them are fairly spooky or murder themed—but that's not why you're really here anyway.
Head downstairs to the basement and that's where you'll find your real destination: a spiralling dungeon that has an infinite number of floors and an infinite number of RPG monsters that disappear upon being slain and leave behind gold, human bones, ornate pieces of jewelry that's probably cursed, and EXP! What is EXP? Well, you don't know for sure, but for every 10 monsters you slay you get a LEVEL UP above your head with a confetti ball that sprinkles glitter all over you! That's great, right????
Every floor has a "boss" monster that drops a chest with more gold, cursed jewelry, and a random item. A boss monster counts for 2-3 monsters' worth of EXP. None of the monsters can leave the floor they're on, and if you run all the way to the beginning of the floor with the elevator/staircase you'll find that they'll no longer chase you or pay attention to you.
The first few floors are "easy", with low-level monsters that even those who aren't good at fighting can clear with some good strategy, but as you go further and further, the level of difficulty becomes greater and greater, with the dungeon levels themselves being their own escape rooms and puzzle-filled labyrinths: some floors are easier with certain unit abilities, like chasm mazes with faulty ropes being easier if you've got Verticality, and scarily, some floors don't allow unit abilities at all. The best/worst part about this is that the floors change constantly, so every journey down is a whole new adventure!
You can "register" up to 8 people to go with you as a party; your phone will notify you of how far away your party members are when you're dungeon crawling and what condition they're in, and you can all Dissonance Video Party chat if you get lost. Otherwise, your phone's reception isn't great down here, and messages may be lost. It's important to register people first—otherwise, when you enter, you'll end up in a different dungeon than the person in front of you!
You can register someone into your party after you've entered the dungeon but before the person has entered the dungeon: if you do, they'll be given the option to take the elevator down to your floor level! This is the same for anyone lagging behind; they just need to get to the end of the level or the beginning of the level to take the elevator down to wherever the furthest dungeoneer is at.
If you end up falling to mortal peril, e.g. the monster's about to strike the final blow or you're about to fall into a pit of lava, you'll disappear and be sent back to the beginning of the floor's level with moderate to severe (but not immediately life-threatening) wounds, where you can take the elevator back up to ground floor, to the gift shop where you can get pictures of your most heroic (or harrowing) moments in the dungeon (or in the escape room if you decided to go there!), in either photograph form or in T-shirt form.
Karaoke: pasela resort back to top
14min from hotel (walking)
(no train available)
7min from hotel (driving)
Within walking distance of the hotel is the Karaoke bar, pasela resort, though at first glance it looks more like an upscale hotel than it does a karaoke bar, with its fancy reception desk and decor. At the reception room, you can order what you want: a Luxury Balinese room with fancy decorations and chandeliers, a standing room with plenty of room to dance on, a theater room with a television for everyone, and a number of kids rooms if you want to . . . if you want to go to one of those? If that's your sort of thing. The business also offers unit collaborations: after every game, the regular rooms are swapped out for rooms in the winning units' decor, along with take-home unit merchandise (coasters with idol faces, plastic stands, etc) and idol-themed food and drinks. These unit collab rooms are present for 1-2 IC days or when there's another game if the latter happens first.
Regardless of what sort of room you pick, you can get access to the state-of-the-art surround sound equipment, microphones for everyone in your party, and over 1.9 million songs to choose from; plus, there's a QR code that you can scan with your phone to play a song if it's not in the database or if you want to set up a specific playlist. Additionally, with every room is a wall tablet where you can order food and drink (though the kids menu is only available in kids rooms and alcohol may not be ordered there). The food menu is widely varied, with anything from sushi to fried finger food to pizza to noodles, and the drink menu is just as diverse, offering teas, floats, milkshakes, boba drinks, and for 100 points per glass, a number of alcoholic beverages. Seasonal desserts are offered along with an all-you-can-eat sweets course, and there's also the resort's specialty: honey toast, a large, toasted sweet bread square dressed like a cake.
Even if you aren't the singing type, there are a couple of other things you can do, too—use a room as a personal theater (50 points per movie) or choose any number of board games they have available to play! (*Pieces may not be taken out of the resort.) You can even order a birthday or celebration course at the reception room and you'll have your room decorated for the occasion, with specially decorated honey toast and a commemorative photo sent to all participants' phones after the party is over.
Regardless of what happens in the room, whether a table breaks or whatnot, the room will be completely cleaned out and restored once all participants have left. Naturally, every room is soundproof, so you can sing or scream as loudly as you want! It's the perfect place for a kidnapping!
Street Market: Ameya Yokocho back to top
1hr46min from hotel (walking)
29min from hotel (train)
24min from hotel (driving)
Not more than a couple minutes from Ueno station is the street market, Ameya-Yokocho. Just like Ueno Park, which is likewise just around the corner, there are shadowy, ghost-like figures here; unlike the ghosts in Ueno Park, these actually staff a few stalls. Not the food stalls, which primarily have (free) confections and festival food, and not the bootleg idol merch stalls, which are full of cheaply made merchandise and what looks like future is now Gadgeteered items, though none of them are functional and all of them are liable to break. At least all the idol merch and "Gadgeteered" bootlegs are cheap—nothing costs more than 50 points here—but sometimes items purchased here might be liable to induce an AlcheME!-potion-like effect on the owner upon purchase, or poof into a bitten-into leaf, scamming you out of your money.
By necessity, ghost staff attends to the henna tattoo tent, where you can get illustrious temporary inks that will last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on how you take care of it. The service is free!
The other "staffed" shops are likewise staffed by necessity: they are, by and large, tailor-made clothing shops that take your measurements before sending you the clothes in the mail. They aren't ordinary clothing shops, though—clothes that are not of imeeji fashion are available to purchase here. However, they're exorbitantly expensive; every outfit, made of only the best quality materials, costs 10 thousand points each, and they cannot have a copy purchased for a lesser price once one is purchased. This is the black market of idols.
There are also less expensive outfits of similar nature, available at 500 points each—but after a few hours of wear, the clothing dissolves completely, unable to be repaired even by future is now's ability. It's mostly there if you want to dress up for a costume party or something; these outfits are also not tailor-made, and feel cheap in comparison. You get what you pay for, it seems.
Due to its unique (shady) nature, after its grand opening on Day 336, Ameyoko will only available on days that are multiples of 5 (so days that end in either 5 or 0), as well as on festival holidays.
Hell Graduates Visitation Center: Tokyo Tower back to top
1hr21min from hotel (walking)
32min from hotel (train)
17min from hotel (driving)
10min from Mitsukoshi Ginza (underground train)
The famous landmark, Tokyo Tower, has been repurposed for a greater use: as of Day 336, it's available for idols to keep in contact with their favorite Hell graduates, who will also see their phones update with a new app just for this purpose. The Footstone, built directly under the tower, has a number of video conference rooms available, where current city residents can call up a Hell graduate from the registry (which lists them by idol name). From there, should a graduate choose to receive the call, they can converse on the big TV screens available in every conference room—or, if the graduate isn't busy, they can even make a personal visit. Graduates only need to press a button on the app to open a doorway wherever they are that will lead them to the Receiving Hall at the front of The Footstone. From there, current and past idols can spend their time at the Tokyo Tower's souvenir shop, crepe shop, burger joint, museum, souvenir shop (where they can take pictures in the purikura booths), or the Tower proper; moreover, Tokyo-F's Footstone, unlike the one in real life, has its center carved out to create a large courtyard park, for those who like to spend their time outside in the greenery.
While graduates are visiting, they receive a plastic wristband tailor-made for the graduate to wear; while it's worn, the graduate may not be fatally injured or killed; all attempts made will simply bounce off. It also physically prevents them from leaving the boundaries of Tokyo Tower(/Mitsukoshi Ginza), though all Hell graduates are also aware they are not allowed to leave bounds regardless. Well, they could take off their wristband and try anyway, but there are cameras everywhere. The Producers will find out.
Graduates may bring small gifts with them, following Fanmail guidelines; current idols may give gifts of any size to graduates (provided the graduate can, you know, hold it on the way out), but graduate players, please be advised: all graduates must go through security check once they return, and it's highly possible if something is considered contraband (ex: listening devices, plot items) it will be confiscated. Mods will not be hard-enforcing this, but players should notify the mods if they intend to have graduates receive plot relevant(/relevant-to-be) gifts.
While Lives may be hosted at Tokyo Tower and are eligible for activity check's points proof, graduates do not count toward hosting bonuses, and may not host Lives themselves. They also won't be paid for any Lives they participate in—their participation is entirely philanthropy.
As of Day 371, a new floor is available in The Footstone's elevator: B4 gives them access to the underground light rail, which Hell graduates and current idols may use to visit Mitsukoshi Ginza.
Heaven Graduates Visitation Center: Mitsukoshi Ginza back to top
1hr32min from hotel (walking)
28min from hotel (train)
19min from hotel (driving)
10min from Tokyo Tower (underground train)
A little ways away from Tokyo Tower, the Mitsukoshi Ginza is open for business—and visitation! As of Day 371, Heaven Graduates may visit Tokyo-F via Mitsukoshi Ginza—check B1 for details.
The building is unique, in that it internally splits into two: the main floors and the annex floors. Not every floor has both elevators, but those that do have both are marked as such.
12th floor The top floor holds no less than 6 restaurants and 1 café. The restaurants are all a variety of grilled foods—sukiyaki, tempura, teppanyaki, yakiniku—save for one Chinese Sichuan restaurant, and the café serves French. Everything is free on this floor. (Based on website)11th floor Primarily foods from other countries can be found here: Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Korean, and American/General Western. There are also five other restaurants with a primary specialty: tonkatsu, udon, sushi, okonomiyaki, and hitsumabushi. Everything is free on this floor. (Based on website)10th floor Here, the floor has been converted to an entertainment floor: you can find toy stores, book stores, movie stores, and video game stores here. You must pay according to the points store, but you can demo the toys and books and movies and video games here if you like. There's additionally an outside balcony here which overlooks the 9th floor.9th floor The terrace, connecting both buildings, holds quite a lot—on the main building's side it's effectively a garden balcony with a split path that goes to an indoor farm in one direction and a shrine in the other. There's also a café here, as well as a family diner. Two large sections divvy up into smaller rooms, wherein current idols may record themselves to send videos to Heaven Graduates. These are not live chats; Heaven Graduates may send video messages back to the idol's room number using their imeeji-issued phone (if they kept it around), but may not be accosted by idols to hold a live video conference. Heaven Graduates may only receive messages if they accept the phone permissions, and as such, current idols should be aware that the message may not be received for some time (if ever).
There are additionally lounging areas here for people who'd just like to lounge, and there is also a daycare on this floor, which functions just like the one in AQUA CiTY ODAIBA—that is, you can put people and pets into the place and set a timer for how long you want them to be in there, up to 2 hours for people and up to 4 days for pets. They can't leave unless someone lets them out. If anyone tries to test it, it's also fireproof? Everything on this floor is free. (Based on website; Terrace Court and Terrace Room are the video message areas)8th floor It is . . . (drumroll) the idol fan merch floor! Everything here seems to be primarily merchandise of graduates of both stripes, along with things that look suspiciously like old belongings of theirs. Like, "the shirt they wore during a trauma game where they got fucked up" and "their old hairbrush with some hair still left on the brush" kind of old belongings, though there aren't any key items or weapons available. There's an entire store that just sells used bathwater, bottled and labeled with their face.
You can't be sure these were actually theirs—and in fact, you could very well come to the conclusion that they're not, since buying the item may result in an exact replica of that item the next day. Still, if these aren't actually theirs, they're chillingly accurate, and there's no way to prove that they're not those same old belongings. Every piece of clothing is, in one way or the other, cut up or shredded, and most certainly bloodied—so they're not exactly like, wearable. But these souvenirs aren't for wearing, anyway—they're for shrine decorating!
Everything on this floor is free. You can't put a price on perfection.7th floor Looking to get married? Then this is the floor for you! There's a bridal salon which holds everything from engagement gifts to wedding invitation stationary to gowns and suits—the clothes are divided into sections by unit, and then non-unit styles. Unit-styled dresses and suits can be bought for 100 points, but non-unit styles are 10,000 points to buy. There's also a rental costume salon with non-unit style dresses to rent for 500 points, but just like rentals at the street market, the clothes are made of cheap materials and dissolve completely after several hours of wear. For the first night together, or for the couple's honeymoon, there's an intimates store—a shop that sells nightclothes, though they're all pretty clearly lingerie. Fortunately, it looks like there's no actual price here—just your dignity if you're caught shopping here.
If you're looking to attend a wedding, there are several shops that feature good wedding gifts—there's a flower shop with each bouquet being 50 points each regardless of the flowers used, a store that sells tableware and kitchen goods and bath items, a perfume shop, and several interior decor and furniture stores, even a shop that sells antiques specifically. Everything is bought at the point shop price, and you may only buy furniture with your style, but who cares, these are gifts for the newlyweds anyway, right?
If you'd like to take a picture of the couple, or if you'd like to just take pictures with your Graduate, you can visit the photo studio to get your picture taken with a number of ~beautiful backdrops~.
Even if you're not here for weddings, there are other points of interest: first, there's a large venue where idols can perform should they desire a smaller, closer stage than the Setagaya Public Theatre, and there's also the Ginza Chandelier Sky—a lounge with a charming view of the city and its lights. Next to the Ginza Chandelier Sky is an art gallery, though it seems to feature primarily portraits of Graduates. (Based on website)6th floor Everything on this floor is for men—men's clothing, men's accessories, men's glasses! Whatever that means? Effectively, you'll find a lot of top-of-the-line brand clothing and accessories here that give a "clever" and/or "cool" and/or "tough" look, with yen pricetags that reach up to six zeroes marked down as 100 points. There's also a café here if you want to get coffee. (Based on website)5th floor There's more menswear on this floor, along with a gentlemen's lounge and a (unit-themed) suits store. There's a shoe repair shop, which repairs your shoes for 200 points per shoe, and there's also a barber shop.
That's not all that's on this floor, though; there's also a store for wigs and hair extensions, as well as a number of women's clothing. It's all elegant, so you'll find clothes that are "clever" and/or "cool" and/or "beauty" here.
You can also reach Tokyo-F's first gift certificate store here! In the store, you can choose a type of item from the points shop (toy, ability, non-firearm weapon, etc) or a physical shop location and write a price; the amount of points will be moved out of your bank account. Upon entering the QR code on the gift card, the gift receiver will have a menu of that type of item or shop location pop up, along with how much they can spend! Upon spending the points, any leftovers will be transferred to the receiver's account. (Based on website)4th floor Ladies' clothes! It's all ladies' clothes, which on this floor means they primarily consist of "cute" and/or "beauty" and/or "tough" looks. Like all clothes in the department store, they can be purchased only if they're in your unit's aesthetic, all at 100 points, but like, just bring friends over, it's fine. There's also a watch store here, as well as a French café. (Based on website)3rd floor You may think this floor just has more "cute" and/or "cool" and/or "beauty" clothes here—especially since this floor seems to have a lot of lingerie!—but it's also home to two very important places: the formal dresses salon, where you can custom order clothes to your liking (as long as it's within your unit's aesthetic), and the clothing customization shop. At the formal dresses salon, the price is variable; you can technically pay as little as 100 points, but the clothes that you get won't be stitched together very well. It's 500 points for an outfit that looks like it was professionally put together, and every price in the middle is a crapshoot for quality. The clothing customization shop, which will adjust clothes that are too big or too small for you regardless of unit aesthetic, is always 500 points.
Oh look, there's a coffee shop! (Based on website)2nd floor Socks! Shoes! Of course, since they're for the ladies, they're obviously "cute" and/or "clever" and/or "tough" looking. While you do have to pay 100 points for the shoes, the socks store is free—and not as bound to unit aesthetic restrictions, either. Or, more like, it's kind of hard to say which kinds of white socks fit which unit aesthetics exclusively.
There's a coffee shop on this side! (Based on website but the map is in Japanese)2nd floor The second story to the jewelry department, shared by the annex's 1st floor as well. Everything here can be bought for 50-100 points! There's also a custom jewelry shop, where you can make your orders for ~special~ accessories which are, get this, not bound by unit aesthetic. Like the floor above, you can technically pay as little as 100 points for the custom-made accessory, but those will rust on you and fall apart easily. You'll want to pay 500 points to get the good stuff. (Based on website but the map is in Japanese)1st floor Ladies' accessories and handbags! Here are your Gucci bags which have anywhere from six zeroes to eight zeroes on their yen pricetags, though for idols the pricetags are crossed out and replaced with 100 points.1st floor The first story to the jewelry department, shared by the annex's 2nd floor as well. The jewelry here primarily looks elegant, like for a specific kind of audience looking to get win the Pokémon contest. Like its sister floor, the wares on this floor have pricetags of astronomical prices, crossed out and adjusted with 100 point pricetags.B1 The Heaven Graduate Retrieval Center is here. Heaven Graduates do not have access to a portal or abilities with which to travel to Hell; instead, a Heaven Graduate can either think of Tokyo-F (or who they want to visit) while they drift off to sleep, or if they can't do that on command, put their cell phone under their pillow and close their eyes (these instructions come in a text message if they accept Hell messages in their phone permissions). They'll find their physical bodies safe and sound wherever they left them, but their own soul leaving that world to enter Tokyo-F's specific boundary.
Out of both current idol and Heaven Graduate view, the Heaven Graduate's soul enters a wooden mannequin that then takes the shape of the Graduate. While in this form, they feel and have all the senses and strength of a human, though should they be attacked, physically harmed, or otherwise leave the boundaries of Mitsukoshi Ginza(/Tokyo Tower), their soul will be ejected immediately and the mannequin will crumble into dust. Once the Graduate has fully assimilated with their proxy body, they'll be given with their imeeji-assigned cell phone and deposited in floor B1, which is where you can also find fragrance shops and cosmetics.
When the Graduate is ready to return home of their own will, they may enter any given elevator and hit the floor "HOME". This promptly sends their soul back to their world, and disintegrates the proxy body. This button may not be used by those that are not Heaven Graduates; it simply won't react. Moreover, it will not react if someone non-Heaven Graduate enters the elevator.
Please note: due to the method of visitation, Heaven Graduates cannot bring things with them when they visit, and they cannot take things with them when they leave. The exception to this would be the Heaven Graduates' imeeji-assigned cell phones.B2 Unlike the fancy restaurants on the top floors, the basement floors here have more humble food shops—besides the confectionaries, there are also several delis, bento/sushi restaurants, tea shops, souvenir food shops, and a shop for dried seaweed and foods boiled with soy sauce. Everything on this floor is free. (Based on website)B3 This bookending floor of food is filled entirely with . . . not restaurants, exactly, but grocery stores! There's a high quality fish market here, along with an honest to god supermarket with like, meat aisles and vegetable aisles and fruit aisles except they're all one floor and this is potentially one store?
On the annex side, there's a parking garage for those who decided to come on wheels!B4 Here lies the underground light rail, which Heaven graduates and current idols may use to visit Tokyo Tower.
Tattoo & Piercing Parlor: studio muscat back to top
1hr from hotel (walking)
30min from hotel (train)
12min from hotel (driving)
studio muscat in Tokyo-F is a little bigger on the inside than its real life counterpart; the space inside seems to stretch on forever, the wall jutting out several times as "rooms" lined up next to each other. They're closed off for the most part, except there's a conveyor belt that cuts through the center of each "room", wide enough for a person to lie down on . . . and in fact, you're supposed to.
At the front of the shop, you can choose whatever design you like, or submit one of your own. Alternatively, you can select a piece of jewelry and type of piercing that you want to get. Once you've done that, you'll be left to wait in the lounge until your phone pings for you to go to the back and . . . well, lie down on the conveyor belt, with your clothes off if the relevant tattoo/piercing will be under clothing. What happens next is hard to remember—once you enter one of the cubicles, you'll find it's far too bright to see anything, but you can hear the whirring of machines as they poke and prick at your skin to modify your body. Once they're done, they'll spit you out on the other end, which wraps back around to a changing room right in front of the lounge (with your clothes, if you took them off).
Tattoos/piercings/body mods in general cost 300 points. However, it's 200 more points to be given anesthetic so that you can sleep through the whole operation and avoid getting traumatized by the potentially hundreds of robot hands doing their mechanical work.
Monstro Lounge: Tokyo-F Branch back to top
10min from hotel (walking)
8min from hotel (train)
4min from hotel (driving)
Between the Game Tower and the Hotel is a classy lounge with elegant leather classes and a sleek bar space. The entire lounge feels as if BARiTONES and sea.Di had a collab, complete with an entire aquarium wall and octopus style chandeliers. They serve a rotating menu of limited edition, seasonal, and collaboration food and drink items. The ambient music is soft jazz and there is a piano in the room should anyone feel bold enough to perform.
Through the back is an office space that also serves as a VIP room. In the very back of the VIP room is another door which may only be accessed by staff members.
While the lounge is primarily automated, just like every other restaurant in Tokyo-F, occasionally there are three staff members available to converse with. Staff members may not freely venture around Tokyo-F, but upon leaving the lounge via the back door, they may visit via the visitation center, with the same rules as Hell Graduates applied to them.
Luxury Spa: WA Spa back to top
1hr40min from hotel (walking)
30min from hotel (train)
17min from hotel (driving)
While 30 minutes by train from the hotel, the WA spa makes every minute of the trip worth it. It offers both body and facial courses of Authentic Japanese™ treatments—green bamboo therapy, salt scrub treatments, body oil aromatherapy, and hot stone therapy just to name a few offerings.
The courses are free, though alcoholic beverages may be provided with payment. There's just one rule in the establishment: "Keep your eyes closed."
It's listed at the front entrance of the spa; idols can enter the changing room where they have their own locker for belongings, before standing in the designated line. Once they close their eyes, a warm hand will lead them to one of the back rooms, where they'll be treated like royalty, massaged anywhere and everywhere they like with the most expert and deft touch. There's even ASMR indistinct chatter for those who relax to the sound of people talking—and if one concentrates, the indistinct chatter sounds like it's spoken with the voices of the idol's favorite people, even if they're not even in Tokyo-F. Isn't that nostalgic? Isn't it comfortable?
There are designated sauna and soaking rooms where they can open their eyes and relax with their phones, or otherwise lounge around with friends taking the same treatment as them—but. If anyone opens their eyes before they're allowed, all operations in the room cease for every person, therapy tools dropped to the ground mid-treatment. Only when every person in the room has their eyes closed again will the treatment continue.
Of course, for those who would prefer to do things themselves, the treatment supplies are all available for them to use. Regardless of which method they choose, at the end of the treatment they can go down the hallway to find that it's actually circular, and they're right back in the changing room to get their things and leave when they're ready. While none of the large-sized treatment supplies can be taken out, there are complimentary treatment samples available for idols to take home at the end of their visit.
3D Model: All of Japan back to top
In the Game Tower ground floor lobby is a long table with what looks to be a 3D-printed model of the island chain that makes up all of Japan. Game board tokens line the border of the table—should an idol pick one up and place it onto any island, they'll find themself transported to that location, with a paper copy of that token in their pocket.
. . . Some version of that location, in any case. It changes without rhyme or reason—sometimes it seems to be prehistoric Japan, and sometimes it seems to be some variation of a post-apocalyptic world. Regardless, all versions are devoid of human life (and sometimes, of animal/plant life as well) as well as any functioning technology.
There seems to be a limited size of where they can go, for that location—travel farther than a small town's worth of distance and the idol will find themself transported back to where they first "spawned". If they want to visit a different town, or a farther location, they'll have to get back out and go back in again.
Speaking of which: idols can return back home by either tearing the paper copy of their token, or waiting out 3 IC days and be returned to Tokyo-F automatically (though they will have to fend for themself until then). They may also be returned to the city if their token on the model is moved off the board, or if they somehow die while still in the model world, in which case they'll transport back to the Game Tower with their injuries intact.
Note: There are no instructions, nor any automatic intuition of how the teleporting table works.
WcDonald's back to top
40min from hotel (walking)
20min from hotel (train)
10min from hotel (driving)
Across the street from the diner is everyone's beloved fast food restaurant, WcDonald's! Which of course means you've got access to the dining area, the food prep area, and also . . . .the jungle gym and ball pit.
It's fun. Plus, behind the food prep area (or in the depths of the ball pit) you can find every toy thatMWcDonald's has ever made. There's also a Lonard Wcdonard statue in the middle of the dining area. Do you like clowns?
Their menu has expanded! The ice cream machine is always functional, and the food is always reasonably priced (furi: zero cost) and available in minutes. There are of course, chicken nuggets, fries, happy meals, and all the dipping sauces. The drinks machine gives real proper drinks and doesn't cross-contaminate the taste of the sodas or have weak bubbles. The drinks are perpetually carbonated.
They do have seasonal menus, including WcRibs and xmas nuggies, which primarily seems to be nuggieswith sprinklesshaped into holiday shpaes, like trees and snowmen and stuff.
It is certainly busy. The mascots have expanded to not only be Lonard, but a number of others, including Grimace and whatever the hell this thing is. Just like every other establishment in Tokyo-F, the restaurant is manned by ghostly people (some of them are wearing AlcheME! cosplays? are they fans?), but the mascots? The mascots seem to be real.
Don't ask. Just know that they are, for whatever reason, a specific gremlin's size or exactly double that height. If you try to take off the mascot heads, then . . . well, don't say we didn't warn you.
Don't worry—they're nice. They don't talk. They just waddle around and do mascot things. This is completely fine and nothing to worry about at all.
This is the F U N Z O N E. In the F U N Z O N E, you may have to take certain risks, such as a giant flyswatter slapping you in the face as soon as you enter the zone. Of course, if you had Foresight, you could easily avoid the flyswatter.
For some reason, there are no cameras in the WcDonald's.
