Toshiaki City is divided into four "parts", districts that grew up as the various smaller communities merged together into one city. Toshiaki proper, located on the mainland, consists of "historical" Amikaze Beach, Sumaru-cho and Gidou-cho. The fourth district, Ryoujinrou Island, lies in the middle of Toshiaki Bay - accessible by ferry from Amikaze Beach or, more expediently, monorail from Sumaru-cho.

The primary fixture on the Toshiaki skyline is the Mizugumi-Eikage-Teshvara Interest Society's headquarters - a towering skyscraper which houses not only the aforementioned corporation, but also the central switching station for the city's monorail line - Mizugumi Station. More commonly known as the Teshvara Corporation, or Teshvara Energy Consortium, it is a centerpiece of Toshiaki's economy, and is responsible for many of the city's jobs - as well as the prestigious Sunida High School, located on Ryoujinrou Island.

Amikaze Beach

Amikaze Beach is a popular tourist attraction, and retains much of the charm of a Japanese fishing village - even after being incorporated into Toshiaki City. It is home to a number of traditional tea houses, several bed and breakfast hotels, and a handful of hot springs.

Locations on Ryoujinrou Island

Ryoujinrou Island is a small, sparsely populated island known primarily as the location of the prestigious Sunida private high school.

Sunida High School

A private high school known for its high standard of academic excellence, Sunida High School maintains its campuses on the sparsely populated Ryoujinrou Island, connected to the mainland by the Sunida Monorail Terminal. With the exception of an upper-classmen's dorm located on the mainland and some local students, the vast majority of Sunida's student body lives on the island in one of three dorms, and remarkably few of them bother to leave except for sporadic trips to the mainland for entertainment.

Ryouko Shrine

A small Shinto shrine located on the northern coast of Ryoujinrou Island and accessible only by a narrow pilgrimage road splitting off from a hiking trail that leads back to Sunida, the Ryouko Shrine is rarely visited by anyone except the handful of priests that maintain it. Occasionally, small groups of students from Sunida will make their way there to see the shrine, but the sheer number of accidents on the path leads the school authority's to frown on the practice.
