Yomihara Streets

**Yomihara** (**ヨミハラ**) is a hidden underground city, located 300 meters below Tokyo. It's 5 kilometers in length and width overall, being built into the bedrock. It is known as one of "Hell's Cities". It houses one of the greater Demon Gates that connects it to the border town Gate City in the Dark World.

Yomihara appears in multiple Taimanin games.

## History

Mining tunnels originally built by the Houjou clan connects it and giant gates that are 4 story-builds high that protects the inner part of the city, which requires insider help to get in. The tunnels itself are patrolled by the "Guk" or demon beasts like Devil Worms. At times water from above dribbles down as rain, coming through the ceiling, nearby caves contain glowing mushrooms and are used as food sources in this underground city. One of the tunnels in Yomihara stretches to the Demon Gate, that makes trade with the Dark World possible. This tunnel also changes from natural rock to an amalgamation of human and demon technology, and is guarded by Ruri, a high ranking Nomad member. On the other side lies Gate City, which has become very rich as a result of its trade with Yomihara.

The normal streets are paved with concrete, and the ceiling is full of vents, power cords, water and gas pipes to power the city's infrastructure and facilities. Most buildings are either very tightly crammed together or chaotic in construction, while others are hidden by magic. It's a city full of corrupted humans, demons and all kinds of illegal activities. Trade with weapons, slaves, drugs and illegal demon magic/technology are the norm. Yomihara houses many extreme red-light areas, in which most people are not able to survive for many years or go insane, with some of the children born given to orphanages or left on the street, to become the target of criminal groups looking for half-demon test subjects.

Nomad has a headquarters in Yomihara, the Palace of Darkness, which houses the Demon Arena, near the northernmost main street. The famous Under Eden on the main street, is a brothel and known for their Body Modification and slave creation.

Yomihara's danger in original canon and some alternative timelines can not be understated. In TY, TA3 and TA ZERO, all of them stated that women in Yomihara are either mafia prostitutes, sex slaves, or loyal soldiers to demons. In a sense, it's a stronghold that's hard to get in and out of it normally, ignoring some exceptional individuals with the right connections. Asagi mentioned that Yomihara was even more dangerous than the lawless Tokyo Kingdom. Yomihara was the main location in Taimanin Yukikaze during the Put-on Mission and became the final location of Taimanin Asagi 3. It also appears in the Bad Ending additional scenes of Murasaki (ZERO) in the ZERO Universe.

## Trivia

* It is commonly known as Yomihara the Underground City, where a demon gate stands at its core.
* In the Taimanin Asagi The Dark Game (Light Novel), before Yomihara had been introduced in Taimanin Yukikaze. Kaliya took Asagi below Tokyo, to the "Kingdom of Shambala" which worked identical to the later Yomihara but seemed to be much smaller. It was destroyed at the end of the manga.
