Okina Station Front
"It's a funny place. Wide, yet narrow. It's grey and full of squares."
Okina City (沖奈市, Okina-Shi)? is a location in Persona 4. Originally limited to Social Link cutscenes in the original game, the area was made accessible in Persona 4 Golden.
Okina City is the nearest big city to Inaba. It is connected to the town via Okina Station. Many students from Yasogami High School frequent the city due to shops and sights that aren't found back home. Once the protagonist obtains his bike license and rides around the neighborhood three times after June 8th, the city becomes accessible, but only during the day.
Locations[]
- Chagall Cafe
- A cafe owned by Mumon. The coffee served here throws the mind into a "dark, muddy tailspin." Each cup of the "Owner's Original Blend" costs 5,000 yen and causes time to pass here. The protagonist can obtain skill cards from the Persona he is equipped with, provided the card icon is shown with that skill. The trophy "An Acquired Taste" is unlocked here.
- Croco Fur
- The clothing store where the protagonist can shop for costumes. Run by Reiko Osa, charismatic "fashionista." Clothes not listed as a part of a set can only be worn by a specific character.
- Okina Station
- The train station that connects Okina to Inaba. No gameplay purpose.
- Crane Machine
- A UFO-catcher doll machine. Each attempt costs 100 yen for one try. Normally the protagonist may only use the machine five times per day, but days ending in 2, 6 or 0 offer two tries per use, and attempts made on the 30th of the month additionally offer an increased chance of obtaining the Grand Prize. Small prizes include weak battle items such as Ice Cubes and Firecrackers, while the Grand Prize is always a Persona doll.
- Movie theater "30 frame"
- Taking a member of the Investigation Team to the movies costs 1500 yen and grants them an immediate level up, bonus stats, as well as Social Link points if they enjoyed the movie. Watching three movies unlocks the trophy "Movie Buff."

Trivia[]
