What is inside

A single painted base map, 20 location markers, and 20 detail scenes with three points of interest each. Gensokyo — The sealed Land of Illusions, a pocket world of forgotten gods, youkai and humans held inside the Great Hakurei Barrier. Rivers, fields and forests fit into a single bowl of mountains, and every road eventually leads back to the shrine. Hakurei Border — The outer seam of the Great Hakurei Barrier, where Gensokyo's illusion rubs against the Outside World. Boundary stones, drifting ofuda and a faint violet curtain mark the line that keeps the land forgotten. Hakurei Shrine — A shabby shrine on the eastern hill, home to Reimu Hakurei and the first stop for every incident. The donation box is empty more often than not, and the tea is always ready.

  • Gensokyo The sealed Land of Illusions, a pocket world of forgotten gods, youkai and humans held inside the Great Hakurei Barrier. Rivers, fields and forests fit into a single bowl of mountains, and every road eventually leads back to the shrine.
  • Hakurei Border The outer seam of the Great Hakurei Barrier, where Gensokyo's illusion rubs against the Outside World. Boundary stones, drifting ofuda and a faint violet curtain mark the line that keeps the land forgotten.
  • Hakurei Shrine A shabby shrine on the eastern hill, home to Reimu Hakurei and the first stop for every incident. The donation box is empty more often than not, and the tea is always ready.
  • Human Village Gensokyo's human heart: a market town of tiled roofs, vegetable plots and a schoolhouse, where ordinary people live carefully beside a world of youkai. At dusk the shutters close early.
  • Kourindou Rinnosuke Morichika's antique shop on the seam between the village and the Forest of Magic. Shelves of Outside World junk, broken clocks and one very patient shopkeeper.
  • Forest of Magic A dark, rumor-thick wood where magicians live precisely because nobody sensible visits. Mushrooms glow, paths rearrange themselves, and a broom trail usually means Marisa passed through.
  • Myouren Temple Byakuren Hijiri's youkai-friendly temple near the village, once a flying Palanquin Ship. The hall is open to humans and youkai alike, though the congregation is mostly the latter.
  • Myouren Temple Cemetery The old graveyard behind Myouren Temple, where stone stupas lean and red spider lilies mark the path. It is also the road down toward the Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum.
  • Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum The underground mausoleum beneath the temple where Toyosatomimi no Miko slept sealed. Bronze doors, painted pillars and a silence that feels like it is listening.
  • Garden of the Sun Yuuka Kazami's sunflower country behind the mountain: bright, hot and beautiful, with a gardener who does not welcome visitors. The flowers turn their heads as you pass.
  • Nameless Hill A hillside of white lily-of-the-valley where abandoned children were once left. Now it is Medicine Melancholy's poison meadow, sweet-smelling and quietly dangerous.
  • Mayohiga A stray-house village on the boundary, where the lost arrive when they wander too far toward another world. The houses are always empty, yet a kettle sometimes sings.
  • Spring Path A cherry-petal lane linking the lake country to the Forest of Magic, where spring seems to arrive a week early. Petals lie thick enough to muffle footsteps.
  • Mysterious Cherry Blossom Path A cherry-lined road used for spring duels and extra-stage quarrels. The blossoms never quite fall in the same pattern twice, and a patch of ice can linger in summer.
  • Poltergeist Mansion The Prismriver Sisters' noisy mansion, an Outside World aristocratic house that slipped into Gensokyo whole. Piano music leaks from broken shutters at any hour.
  • Rainbow Dragon Cave A deceptively long, thin-aired cave mine where dreams crystallise in rainbow colours. Miners' carts still stand on the rails, and the deepest gallery glows like a held breath.
  • Misty Lake A mist-veiled lake at the foot of Youkai Mountain, playground of fairies and moat of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. The island shrine disappears whenever the fog thickens.
  • Scarlet Devil Mansion The Scarlet family's European mansion on Misty Lake: vampires, a chief maid, a library that keeps growing, and more rooms than the outside walls admit.
  • Mugenkan Mansion of Fantasies beneath the Lake of Blood, a boundary house between Gensokyo and dream. Its corridors are longer inside than out, and the garden grows flowers that have no names.
  • Lake of Blood A still crimson lake behind the Hakurei Shrine, old gateway water toward Mugenkan and the dream border. The surface holds the moon without a ripple.
