"The District" Bar
Bar Back Alleyway
Tucked away behind the District Bar hides its dim and derelict back alleyway. A place known for its shady dealings and meetings between yakuza clansmen and usually where the no good and drunks linger after a long night of drinking. Many traveling through are warned to stay vigilant as the unpredictable streets of Little Shiro can be unforgiving at night. The Ashitaka Clan makes sure that anyone unwelcome or trespassing are indeed taken care of but such security isn’t always guaranteed in the Yakuza ran district of Little Shiro.
