Gakuran Locations: Every Area in the Nishikata District
Gakuran is set in the Nishikata district of May 2007 Japan. The map includes the high school campus itself and a surrounding neighbourhood with shops, a gym, a club, and a convenience store — all explorable in a single server with up to 50 players.
The Nishikata district recreates a slice of 2007 Japan across nine connected locations.
School Campus
Nishikata Highschool
The main school building — the heart of Gakuran's roleplay and where most fights break out. The school's interior includes classrooms, hallways, and the iconic delinquent-culture atmosphere the game is built around. The game's description calls it "an INTENDED Slice of Life experience (though our community just loves to fight LOL)."
Courtyard
The outdoor area attached to the main school. The courtyard is a common spot for open PvP and group roleplay — its open space makes it easier to dash and reposition during fights than the tighter indoor hallways.
Basketball Court
A sports area within the school campus. The basketball is one of Gakuran's interactable objects — you can actually play basketball here, not just use it as a backdrop for fights.
The Neighbourhood
Kobayashi Ramen
A ramen restaurant in the Nishikata district. One of several neighbourhood spots where roleplay scenes often take place — sitting down for ramen at Kobayashi is a common move in the school-life fantasy the game enables.
Nishikata Coffee Shop
A café in the district. Like Kobayashi Ramen, it serves as a social hub for roleplay-focused players who prefer the school-life atmosphere over combat.
7-Eleven Gas Station
A convenience store modelled on the real Japanese 7-Eleven chain — a staple of 2007 Japanese street life and a faithful detail in Gakuran's period setting. A natural hangout spot for roleplay scenes in the neighbourhood.
Laundromat / Laundry
A laundromat in the neighbourhood. Laundromats are a classic slice-of-life setting in Japanese school dramas, and this one fits naturally into Gakuran's 2007 aesthetic.
Club Akuma
A nightlife venue — a notable departure from the high school setting. Club Akuma offers a different atmosphere than the campus locations, and is a popular spot for roleplay scenes that take place outside school hours.
Nishikata Fitness Center
A gym in the district. A natural fit for the game's fighting culture — training montages are a staple of Japanese delinquent fiction, and Nishikata Fitness Center gives players a venue for that side of the roleplay.
Interactable Objects
Several objects across the map can be interacted with directly:
- Basketball — playable at the Basketball Court
- Chalk Board — interactive chalkboard in the school
- Books — readable books in the school
- Playable Instruments — musical instruments that can actually be played
