Hagoita Street (Special Zone B) (Japanese: 羽子板通り - B特区) is an area located in the Special Zone B in Shinkomi. It is further located in the the Shinkomi Strip of Sakuchō.

It is the main source of capital for the Shinkomi, with casinos as the main source of tourism from homeland and abroad.

To the residents of Shinkomi, the Special Zone B is not a place for leisure and enjoyment. It is rather more like a workplace for them.

Description
Special Zone B is an area lined with casinos, commercial buildings and amusement facilities. The line of buildings give out flickering neon lights.

During its golden age; it was famous as one of Japan's leading casino resorts, and was visited by many tourists from both the homeland and abroad.

Even though the casino industry is still a major source of capital for the Shinkomi, the state of business is not as buoyant as it used to be.

Cheap casinos that anyone can use are popular these days, and there are even rumors that they are the ones that are more profitable.

On the other hand, with the lowering of the gambling threshold; the number of people who become dependent on gambling is increasing, and it seems to be spurring an increase in debtors. Gambling leads to people racking up debt and then borrowing money again. It is a simple structure, but it is an effective way to raise money in a semi-permanent manner. Towa noted that the Takasato Group will stop at nothing, and will use any means to earn money.

Nevertheless, there are many who are dazzled by the prospect of getting rich quick. There are even people who enter the casinos in the midst of debt. Aside from gambling, there is no lack of people who are also heavily in debt who visit the high-class clubs and hosts.
