Japan Town (昭和路地, Shōwa Roji, Shōwa Alley) is an area accessible through from the Sewers in the Dark Room.
Features
Japan Town is a street through quite a large old japanese town, full of residential activity, with a friendly old-world charm.
The area consists of a main street lined with old japanese buildings and shops, and various minor characters going about their daily lives in the streets. Kanban Otoko, Wheel Girl, and News Man can be seen in this area. If you sit next to News Man on the bench and wait a few seconds, a bus will come along and transport you to the Maiden Outlook.
There are a number of areas to access from here, such as The Hotel, found partway through town, and the Back Alley next to it.
Further down you can find the Box Shop, home to the Box Shop Keeper, a blue robot (like the one in The Hand Hub) who sometimes looks out of his shop and nods when you interact with him. Interacting with the red mailbox outside the Box Shop will transport you to the Dark Museum.
Through the wooden door next to his shop is a small alley featuring graffiti of a pastel city on the wall. Using the Glasses effect here will reveal a hidden door leading inside the Box Shop next to the pile of garbage.
If the shopkeeper is sitting inside, you can join him using the Boy effect, and he will squint at you happily (sort of creepily really).
To the left of the box shop, going through the hole in the bushes next to the pole will take you to the area behind the hotel. going through the alley here joins up with the back alley.
At the very edge of town a black building with a neon sign outside it leads down into a dark sub-area of the Sewers. Travelling to the left, you will eventually come to the Underground Bar.
Various places around japan town will give you Money if you are running low (below 500夢); Checking the box shop's drawers will give you 100夢, and checking the hole between the hedges nearest to the Underground Bar will net you another 100夢.
The Hotel
A quiet and rather dark building. Through the doorway at the top of the room, there is a narrow pathway with bouquets strewn around the sides. The room at the end of the path simply contains a desk with a lamp on it, however the room shakes a lot. If you equip and use the Glasses effect, you will see a lot of dark shadowy figures clustering around you.
Through the door to the left, there is a complex of darkened stairways, with doors to the hotel lounge located at the top and a doorway that leads to a mask shop running through the middle of the stairwell. The stairs descend down further on the left side, leading to 3 other rooms.
Atop the stairwell is the hotel lounge, where the rooms are located, currently being rented by various shadowy blob people. The individual rooms all have a futon, a chest of drawers, and a bathroom in the southeast corner of the room.
In the third room's bathroom, Urotsuki can change into her swimsuit by interacting with the one on the wall, and take a bath. If you stay in too long, you'll transform into a white blob creature.
Exiting from the bathroom while in this form reveals that the blob creature that was blocking the mirror has left. Interacting with the mirror will let urotsuki see what she has become, and eventually a shadowy blob figure will enter the room and attack Urotsuki. Afterwards, you will wake up in the bed of the room, still wearing the swimsuit. This can also happen in other rooms in the hotel, though it is much rarer.
At the bottom of the staircase area through the double doors is a broken closet, interacting with it will teleport you to the Closet Pinwheel Path. If you go through the door on the left instead, you'll end up behind the front desk where you can receive money from a shadow-blob customer. If you go through the right door, there is a room with lots of garbage bags and a fridge. If you approach the fridge with a large amount of money on hand, a Clown will jump out and try to steal your money. Going through the door here takes you out behind the hotel.
Back Alley
If you go down one of the alleyways, there will be a pathway leading to an odd dark area with ladders, streetlights and parts of buildings. Heishi-kun can be found here, who will give you the Cripple effect. If you chainsaw him, the atmosphere changes and flat Shadow Women will chase you.
The Underground Bar
The black building at the very edge of town leads down into a dark sub-area of the Sewers. This area can be lit up with the lantern effect and features Marijuana-Goddess lanterns and a stream which lotus flowers slowly float down.
Located at the very left of this area is the Underground Bar. A slowed down version of the Vishnu Rave song should fade in as you get close. Inside the bar, Masutaa the bartender shakes his cocktail mixer and a blue fire npc enjoys a cocktail next to a man who has passed out from drinking too much.
If you sit on the middle stool and interact with the bartender, he will serve you drinks for 200夢. If you drink too much, the bar will start to warp and distort, and you will either wake up or see the images of people that you have killed. Viewing this event unlocks a wallpaper.
Trivia
- On occasions (after using the Polygon Effect in the Robot's house?) it will become night, with a blue glow. [needs verification]
