Gakuran takes place in and around Nishikata, a Japanese town built for socializing, roleplay, and player-versus-player fights. Since the game has no fixed objectives, the map itself becomes the playground: you explore, meet people, hang out, and settle rivalries wherever the mood takes you. This guide walks through every location currently in Gakuran and what each spot is used for.
Nishikata Highschool
The heart of the map. Nishikata Highschool is a large public school where most students spend their days socializing, studying, and forming rivalries across its hallways, classrooms, and central courtyard. It is the main gathering place for enrolled students and usually the busiest area in the game.
Courtyard
The outdoor area of Nishikata Highschool where students gather between classes. It is a popular spot for socializing, meeting friends, and watching rivalries unfold, making it one of the best places to find other players.
Basketball Court
A lively spot where students gather to play games, practice their skills, and compete with friends. Whether you are there for a casual match or a heated rivalry, the basketball court is almost always full of energy. It is also home to the playable basketball, one of the game’s interactable items.
Laundromat Laundry
A neighborhood hangout spot where students and locals come to relax and pass the time with friends, adding to the everyday, slice-of-life feel of Nishikata.
Kobayashi Ramen
A ramen shop where students and locals come to eat, relax, and hang out. Food spots like this double as natural meetup points for roleplay and socializing.
Nishikata Coffee Shop
A local coffee shop where players can buy drinks, relax, and spend time with friends. It stays a popular gathering spot throughout the day and is a great place to slow down between fights.
7-Eleven Gas Station
A small convenience store where players can grab snacks, drinks, and everyday items. It is a common quick stop for students moving around the map.
Club Akuma
An underground club known for intense music, bright red lights, and a rough crowd. Students and troublemakers gather here at night to hang out, listen to performers, test their strength, or just get away from the public eye. If you are looking for a grittier atmosphere or a fight, Club Akuma is the place.
Nishikata Fitness Center
A training gym where players come to work out, practice PvP, and hang out. It is a natural spot to warm up your combat skills or spar with other players in a more casual setting.
Which Location Should You Visit First?
If you are brand new, start at Nishikata Highschool and its courtyard, since that is where the player population concentrates and where you will make your first connections. When you want to fight, head to the Fitness Center for casual sparring or Club Akuma for a rougher crowd. The food and coffee spots are best used as relaxed meetup points for roleplay and socializing between matches.
