Cared for by the shrine maidens of the Toujou family, it is often assumed that the offerings are taken as donations to the shrine themselves, but offerings of food left on a Monday will not be present when the shrine maiden comes on Friday. There is a central shrine of sorts, set halfway up one of Kirisama's mountains. It is this shrine that people go to for major festivals and events, such as New Years Celebrations. Most of the time though, it is the loneliest shrine, its paper lanterns ceaselessly burning through the night.

A 24/7 convenience store that's pretty much everywhere else in Japan as well, the Lawson at Kirisama is a relatively new branch, having only opened a couple years back. Now, it's a relatively popular destination for students to get cheap junk food or work at minimum wage. Of course, there's been rumors that Lawson's competitor, Family Mart, has also been planning to expand into Kirisama... Also, all the female employees are cute, young girls, while all the male employees are balding, fat men. Wonder how that happened.

Think again. Kirisama High is pretty much the only high school in town, and thus, is a relatively large one. With a student population of five thousand, it boasts a variety of classes and clubs, for people with all sorts of interests. Tea ceremony? Go for it! Scuba diving? There's a reason why we're at the coast! Ghostbusting? Just don't cross the streams! With three floors, a rooftop garden, and a variety of other amenities, Kirisama High really is a paradise for students who want to have a fun life. Then again, they're the only school in town anyways, so one must ask. Why are they trying so hard to keep everyone happy?

Run by two friends (Sachi-chan and Ami-chan) who totally didn't drop out of high school, it's often set up nearby the ports, where the employees would then bring out a bunch of collapsible tables and chairs, creating a portable cafe of sorts. Sadly, their coffee sucks, but hey, what sort of Japanese person drinks coffee? It's all about tea, after all! No one has told them that the spelling on their truck is incorrect and lived to tell the tale.
