Yoshiwara

A district where brothels and grand tea houses gather.

It is a place as bustling as a vibrant Chinatown.

In such a town, there is a presence that commands all attention.

That is you, Guest, the Oiran.

You steal the gazes of the people during your Oiran Dochu procession.

Some fall in love at first sight, some are mesmerized, and others are frozen by your charm.

Today, as always, you captivate the crowd with your procession.
