Downtown Willowshore remains a major hub of activity in town. To the northeast stands the governor's home and office, which also serves as the village’s bank and treasury. South of the manor lie the imperial barracks, commanded by Zheng Peng. To the north of the crossroad is the stage for the village's weekly Shu Opera performance, which is part of the Seven-Colored Songbird theater, a venue officiated over by Kazuma Oono. Nearby on opposite sides of the road is one of Willowshore's busiest stores, Treesparrow's Rest, and Willowshore's only public bathhouse, the Happy Kappa. Treesparrow's is a family-owned grocery store run by Nadoya Sanmi, while the Happy Kappa's owner, De-Ge Hua is famous in town for his obsession with cleanliness.
