Misetan Department Store

The **Misetan Department Store** (百貨店 三瀨丹, *Hyakkaten Misetan*) is a building in the universe of *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES*. The rooftop of the building, the **Misetan Rooftop Amusement Park** (三瀨丹 屋上遊園地, *Misetan Okujō Yuenchi*), is a location featured in *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative*. It is the real world counterpart to the Somnium world Need Info.

The Misetan Department Store is a multi-story building that serves as a popular mall in the Shinjuku District. The rooftop itself holds a rooftop amusement park, filled with a ferris wheel, various other attractions, and specialty booths. The park is a novelty of department store buildings that have died out over the years.

	1. **Mizuki:** Is this a luminol reaction...?
	 **Aiba:** (Yes. As I explained, the reaction emits heat, which is why you can see it.)
	 **Mizuki:** So that means there was a bloodstain here, in this shape?

	 **Mizuki:** There are no tracks leading up to the body print.
	 **Aiba:** (Someone must have pulled the suitcase over it.)
	 **Mizuki:** After moving the body...?

## Trivia

* The Misetan Department Store is based off the real world Isetan Department Store, and the design of the building itself is based off Isetan's Shinjuku flagship store. The precise map location of Misetan is also the exact same as the Isetan Shinjuku building.
	+ The rooftop amusement park is likely based off the Maruhiro Department Store's rooftop amusement park, the last rooftop amusement park in Japan before it closed in 2019. The specific attractions and overall design of the park is reminiscent of the one featured in-game.
