Ireikiama

Ireikiama is a fictional coastal city depicted in East Asian–inspired fiction. It lies on a sheltered bay along the northern shore of the archipelago nation of Shizuka, in the imaginary Minato Prefecture.

The name is typically presented as a compound of local elements meaning harbor and summit, reflecting its harborfront setting and surrounding hills.

The city sits near sea level with a practical harbor, rocky promontories, and a northern hillside. The climate is temperate, with mild winters and warm summers, cooled by sea breezes.

Originating as fishing hamlets, Ireikiama grew with a regional trade route in the medieval period, developed into a port town in the early modern era, and underwent reconstruction after 20th‑century conflicts.

In fictional profiles, it has about 50,000 residents, including fishing families, shopkeepers, and commuters from surrounding districts.

The economy centers on fishing and seafood processing, with light manufacturing, retail, and seaside tourism.

The Ireiki Matsuri festival, lantern displays, and sea-themed performances are highlights. Local cuisine emphasizes fish and shellfish, and crafts include lacquerware and textiles.

The city is depicted with a mayor-council government within the Minato Prefecture and the national legislature of Shizuka.

It operates two high schools and a regional college campus. Transportation includes a harbor, two rail stations on the North Line, and a network of buses.

The Ireikiama Lighthouse, the waterfront district, and hillside shrines are common focal points in storytelling.

In fiction, details vary by source, and Ireikiama serves as a setting to explore themes of tradition and change.
