見参！
(RYU GA GOTOKU: KENZAN!)
CITY AND WORLD MAPS
Ryū ga Gotoku: Kenzan! is a spin-off from Sega’s popular Ryū ga Gotoku / Yakuza video game series,
released in Japan in 2008 on PlayStation 3, and set in early Edo-period Japan, mostly in Kyoto and
the nearby area, rather than the modern metropolitan setting of the main games in the series.
Probably as a result of the poor sales of previous games in the series in English-speaking markets, it
never received an official English localised release.

The following maps are adapted / retouched slightly from the interactive maps in game, accessible
through the pause menu. Street names &c. have been added. Names of businesses and the like
indicated by numbers on the maps can be found in the tables following, as well as transliterations or
translations of street names and the like.

Since telephone booths and taxis were not a thing in the early Edo period, their function in game is
replaced by roadside shrines (circular yellow symbols) for the former, and a palanquin service
(pick-up / drop-off points marked by circular blue symbols) for that latter.

鶴町小路 Tsuro-chō alley.

門前小路 Monzen alley.

The main gate is only useable during certain story events; most of the time, Kiryū / Musashi needs to use an
underground passage from the Tatsuya to enter and leave the Gion zone.

District names in red on the map—亀町, 角町, &c.—denote specific city blocks; these names are sometimes
used for the purposes of directions in sub-stories & the like.
The roadside shrines function as save points and item boxes. You can also save in the Tatsuya.

色見世, iro mise, literally means something like “colourful spectacle,” apparently a euphemism: both locations
in this category are basically brothels. ‘Nightspot’ is the term used with this colour code in Ryū ga Gotoku 3.

The palanquin is this game’s equivalent of the taxis, allowing fast travel between specified points in the
suburbs (and some outlying areas) for a fee. A fourth pickup / drop-off point in the suburbs can be unlocked
through a sub-story (available after using the service 30 times), with two possible locations; either in Nagoya-
chō, or by the grand shrine at the east end of Shijō street.

The icons showing palanquin stations and roadside shrines are made somewhat smaller in the above than
they appear in the in-game maps, largely to make it clear that they aren’t actually blocking any of the roads.

The suffix 屋, ya, is a somewhat general term signifying “house, shop, dealer” and the like.

光悦の屋敷 Kōetsu’s mansion.
