It's also the location of Sojiro's house, where he and Futaba Sakura reside.
It's also the center of several shops, such as Tae Takemi's Takemi Medical Clinic, a supermarket, a second-hand shop and a sweet potato vendor, and several vending machines. It also encompasses several activities: a public bathhouse, washing machines, a batting center and a movie theater.

Etymology[edit | edit source]
Yongen-Jaya is not a real location in Japan, but rather a reference to Sangen-Jaya Station (三軒茶屋), a real life Tokyo station located in Setagaya. The first kanji of Yongen-Jaya, which refers to the number four, is the next numeric kanji after Sangen-Jaya.
