Dr. Tsukumo is a self-proclaimed scientist who’s indifferent to any matters outside his research. He dreams of launching a homemade rocket and conducts research every day in a shack on the outskirts of Fukagawa-cho, known as the “Amazing Science Lab.” His dedication and straightforwardness has earned him the affection of local residents, at the very least.
The owner of the restaurant “Ryugu,” located on the outskirts of Ginza-cho, has strong managerial skills and is involved with her family’s trading business. Ryugu is a top-class establishment thanks to her work, and Narumi has even run up a considerable tab at her restaurant.
One of Ryugu’s employees is Denpachi Iida, a rickshaw runner. Having lost his parents at a young age, Iida works diligently to support his younger sister. He takes pride in his work, but he’s frustrated by the rising automobile industry, since it takes away his clientele.
Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of The Soulless Army – Locations in the Capital
During the course of the game, Raidou will visit various towns and facilities throughout the Capital. Fukagawa-cho features westernized brick-style streets with a traditional Edo downtown atmosphere full of entertainment venues. Another one of the towns is Tsukudo-cho, which has various shops lined on the streets with people of all ages frequenting the area.
Tsukudo-cho is also the home of the Narumi Detective Agency, the main base of operations for Raidou and his team. There, players can save their game, recover, and check the status of their investigation. You can also play the mahjong mini-game, where you can challenge Narumi and your demon allies to earn money based on your score. Moreover, Konnou-ya, the antique shop in Tsukudo-cho, offers a wide variety of items, ranging from tools useful in battle to Sword Alchemy materials. The shop’s owner is a shrewd businessman who carries his ledger with him anywhere he goes.
Ginza-cho is the most vibrant downtown area in the Capital, with a main street full of high-rise buildings. Streetcars and automobiles often navigate through this town, making it an urban hub for the Capital. On the other hand, Harumi-cho is known for its foreign influence, including brick buildings, churches, and a port with active trade with foreign countries.

Players can also enter the Training Hall from the washstand of the Nameless Shrine. In the Training Hall, players can battle demons managed by Yatagarasu across ten floors, which vary in difficulty. Entry into those floors depends on Raidou’s skill level. There’s also a special challenge known as the Trial of a Hundred Demons, which sees Raidou battle 100 demons within a time limit. Herald of Yatagarasu grants a reward for players who complete the challenge.
