A towering tavern—the largest in Kugane—favored by local merchants, dockworkers, and foreign visitors alike. Guests can indulge in Far Eastern cuisine made with he freshest seafood while sipping on fine rice wine imported from Koshu, the main island of Hingashi.
Tenkonto
In the Far Eastern tongue, Tenkonto means aetheryte. Since ancient times in Hingashi, the construction and maintenance of these devices have been the exclusive domain of the Onishishu, a collective of skilled craftsmen who jealously guard their secrets. As a portal to Kugane, the area is kept under strict surveillance by the Sekiseigumi.
Umineko Teahouse
This humble teahouse owned and operated by Ume Kaukin is a popular spot to enjoy a brief respite while listening to the cat-like wauling of the gulls. Many praise the sweet dango, which comes in an assortment of vivid colors said to symbolize the seasons—pink for spring cherry blossoms, white for wintry snows, and green for fresh summer grass.
The Statue of Zuiko
Depicted in majestic detail astride his rearing steed is the great warlord Zuiko, revered founder of Suenokuni. While his realm occupies the southern region of Shishu encompassing Kugane, it must be noted that the port city's administration alone falls under bakufu jurisdiction.
