Karakura Town

Karakura Town (空座町, Karakurachō; lit. Empty Seat Town) is a settlement in the Human World, located in Western Tokyo. 
==Overview==
Karakura Town is the hometown of Ichigo Kurosaki and Riku Kuchiki. It is a small city with an average-sized population, most of which is unaware of the ghosts and spiritual forces that exist there. 
Karakura Town is under the jurisdiction of 13th Division and is referred to as District 3600 by the Shinigami. It is situated on the current jūreichi (重霊地, Important Spirit Ground) - the point in the Human World that possesses the greatest concentration of spiritual beings. For this reason Sōsuke Aizen sought to destroy it, as necessary to create a copy of the Ōken. It’s also the town that Raiden Shiba, Riku’s father, decided to live before he was killed by Aizen.
==History==
Approximately 100 years ago, Kisuke Urahara, Tessai Tsukabishi and the eight Visored fled the Soul Society to escape their sentences. They were soon joined by Yoruichi Shihōin. Urahara opened a small shop in the outskirts of town, the Urahara Shop, aided by Tessai Tsukabishi. While it is no more than an average store on the outside, it is a shop that caters to Shinigami needs. Underneath the shop Urahara built a vast training area to be used by himself, his employees and some of his clients. The Visored made their home in an old run down warehouse. They too constructed a training ground where they trained to take charge of their inner Hollows and later to prolong the period of their Hollowfication.
