Sakurashinmachi

Sakurashin Town is a town where yōkai live alongside humans. Its current mayor is Hime Yarizakura. Because taking care of that many yōkai's is difficult, a special entity was formed: the Hiizumi Life Counseling Office. It's current director is Akina Hiizumi. The Office's job is to make the lives of the yōkai easier and to banish yōkai with intention to harm other people.

Every year a town's festival is held. During that festival, the mayor must thank the dragon protecting the town by entering the shrine and offering him the Sacred Spear.

The town song has been composed by Hime and she sings it a lot. It goes like this:

♪ Tsun Tsun Dere Tsun Dere Tsun Tsun ♪

There wer plans for recording the town song on CD, but they were never executed.

Seven Pillars
The Seven Pillars are seven sakura trees that were planted when the town was founded. They give a magic barrier that protect the town from the outside world and vice-versa. When a yōkai is sent to the other world by Akina, they go through these pillars. The same pillars also exist in the yōkai world, as it is the only thing connecting both worlds. When the sakura trees bloom, the connection between the worlds is open and all the Tuned yōkai could return to the Human World.
