Map of all the street-level businesses in Ijincho circa 2019, one of the primary settings of Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

Yup, after a nice long break, it's time for some more Yakuza mapmaking. Sure, Ijincho is a whole lot bigger than any of the previous playable districts, but — and this is important — it still has BIG FAT PAPA. Two of them, in fact. So all is right with the world, ne?

Here's the other half of the Yakuza 6 maps: Kamurocho 2016, aka "city under construction, please come back later."

Yeah yeah, I know the dev crunch reasons for it, but the fact that so much of Kamurocho was being rebuilt (plus the map changes required for the new engine) REALLY WORKED for me thematically. It made concrete the notion that Kiryu had become a relic of a bygone era. And the world he thought he'd known? It had literally changed around him.

Ono Michio says, "OH NO! Here's a city map of Onomichi from Yakuza 6, coming in hot!"

This is one of those areas I felt the in-game maps never managed to capture very well. The harborside, railway, and mountainside environments all ended up looking like identical jumbles of buildings on screen. Seeing them a little better delineated here just makes me happy for some reason.

Batting cleanup for the Yakuza: Dead Souls quarantine maps, here's the fourth and final phase of lockdown. If you fire up Last Adventure mode with Kiryu, this is what you're gonna get.

There's not much left to Kamurocho at this point, tbh. Things are looking bleak. Yet Nakamichi St. is holding out LIKE A BOSS. Clearly, there's no way they're letting Don Quijote go down without a fight.

Things are getting serious in this next Yakuza: Dead Souls quarantine map, which shows Kamurocho during the end state of its Phase 3 lockdown. If you fire up Last Adventure mode with Goda, this is what you're gonna get.

Huge chunks of town are now overrun. Champion District has been turned into a smoldering ruins. And Pops? We don't talk about Pops... On the bright side, if you've ever wanted to be a professional forklift driver, now's your time to shine.

As always, hi-res map below:

Next up in Yakuza: Dead Souls quarantine maps — Kamurocho during the end state of its Phase 2 lockdown. If you fire up Last Adventure mode with Majima, this is what you're gonna see.

In this phase, the infection spreads to Kamurocho Hills and the Millennium Tower plaza. But all that's okay. Know why? Because you get the 100% joy of playing as Majima during this phase. AND you get Daigo. AND you get a bulldozer.

As always, hi-res map available below:

Here's the first of the Yakuza: Dead Souls quarantine maps, showing how Kamurocho looks during the end state of its Phase 1 lockdown. If you fire up Last Adventure mode with Akiyama, this is what you're gonna get.

Red areas represent the current spread of the infection, of course. I've noted all military containment barriers and other major blockages, along with any stores that can potentially be liberated. Because God forbid people go without gelato for a day.

For all you yakuzombie lovers out there, I present the (unquarantined) Kamurocho city map for Yakuza: Dead Souls.

Mechanically, this map is very close to Yakuza 5, with just the save points, taxi stands, and a few stores switched up. The bigger changes come in the quarantine maps, which I'll probably be tackling next — one for each of the four main quarantine phases.

Last but not least in the Yakuza 5 city map series: Kineicho.

While it's one of the better new areas in the Yakuza 5, it's also a bit of a head-scratcher. The eastern half of the map, consisting of Mid Square and Oval Stage, goes almost entirely unused over the course of the game's storyline. Seems an awful waste, given the clear amount of time that went into modeling those spaces.

Hi-res version of the map available below:

It's time for another Yakuza 5 map — this time, Kamurocho!

The big callout here is the finally finished Kamurocho Hills complex to the north, featuring everyone's favorite new eatery, Ein Hügelrestaurantstraße. Go grab yourself a table and pour out a stein for the fact that the devs built all those rooftops and tunnels in Yakuza 4 to do almost nothing with them in this game.

Next in Yakuza 5 city maps: Sotenbori.

This place has always been a hot mess when it comes to continuity. Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 5 used one city layout while Kiwami 2, which comes chronologically between them, used another (and is missing much of the SE quadrant of the map). So if you play through the series in order, things get very disorienting very quickly.

As always, a hi-res version of this map is available below:

Next up in Yakuza 5 city maps: Tsukimino. Objectively the worst map in the RGG series. Disagree? Fight me.

Oh wait, you can't. Because you're on the other side of the street and Tsukimino doesn't let you jaywalk. So you have to run all the way to the corner and back around again. And by the time you're done, I'm already long gone and having a delicious bowl of ramen somewhere.

Grab the hi-res version here:

Here's a little snack between Yakuza 5 city maps: Part 2's snowy mountain village and associated hunting grounds.

Since Saejima spends nearly as much time here as he does Tsukimino, it only made sense to include it in this set of maps.

First up for the Yakuza 5 city maps: Nagasugai in Fukuoka. Do you like yatai? And running up and down very long streets? Then Nagasugai is the place for you.

Working on finishing up my first-ever playthrough of Yakuza 5 (loooong!), so expect plenty of new city maps soon enough. In the meantime, I've been tweaking the design of some earlier maps to be a little more visually cohesive. Here's how Yakuza Kiwami's shaping up so far...

Map of all the street-level businesses in Sotenbori circa 2006, one of the primary settings of Yakuza Kiwami 2. Yes, vending machines too!

EDIT: Updated the Graceful Spyce store name. What I thought was a TL miss turned out to be a stupid transcription error on my part. (Yay me!) Thanks to @nyxqueenofshadows for catching that.
