How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

One of Ijincho's traditional districts, packed with Chinese restaurants and crowds and at its liveliest at night. Its painted gate is called 善昇門 in the game, a one-character change from the real Zenrinmon (善隣門).

The real place

Yokohama Chinatown grew up after the port opened to foreign trade in 1859 and is now the largest Chinatown in Japan, with hundreds of shops and restaurants inside its gates. The Zenrinmon on the main street was first built in 1955 and rebuilt in its present form in 1989.

Visiting

Visit the Kanteibyō temple to Guan Yu on Kanteibyo-dori, and come hungry for steamed pork buns from the street stalls. Around Lunar New Year the district holds parades and lion dances.

Yokohama Chinatown is also in Rise of the Ronin. See all 2 games side by side
