Genshin Impact‘s new region, the Inazuma archipelago, will be coming out as version 2.0 rolls out on July 21, 2021. The Feudal Japan-inspired archipelago is so huge that we will only get to explore two out of all of its islands. Still, even if we're just getting two for now, it's never too early to take a stroll and take a look at all of the new locations we can explore. Come with us and let's look at all of these new locations on Inazuma.
New Genshin Impact Locations: Tatarasuna, Kannazuka
The island of Kannazuka has the Mikage Furnace. Around it is the mountainous region of Tatarasuna, fertile and bountiful of nature's blessings. Amusingly, the landscape's blossoms continue to bloom regardless of the war and fire that passes through it.
Right at the heart of Kannazuka is the Mikkage Furnace, a large smelting facility surrounded by jagged terrain. While the current war in Inazuma has caused its production to stop, it retains its reputation as the originator of strong weaponry. What secrets and bounties can players expect here? We're excited to find out. Keep a lookout for the Pyro Hypostasis that lives in Kannazuka, so be sure to bring your best Hydro party along.
Yashiori Island
Sometimes we need to be reminded of just how powerful the archons in Genshin Impact are. The reminder for Barbatos' power is the Golden Apple Archipelago. Morax's is the Guyun Stone Forest. For Inazuma's Baal, it's Yashiori Island. A giant serpent once attacked Inazuma, and the Electro Archon chose Yashiori Island as the battlefield to fight this monster. With one swift slash of her sword, the Raiden Shogun severed the serpent's head, which now calcified into a part of the landscape of its own. But Baal's power not only severed the serpent's head but also created the Musoujin Gorge. The entire valley looks like it's been cut cleanly in one fell swoop – and that's exactly what it was. An entire mountain cut in half has turned into a gorge that reminds the people in Inazuma just how powerful their Shogun is.
Tenshukaku, Inazuma City
The Raiden Shogun resides in Inazuma's capital city, inside the Tenshukaku. It stands tall at the highest point of the city, overseeing the Electro Archon's entire dominion. While some might see the castle as a source of inspiration – watching over them like a guardian – many see it as a sign of oppression.
Grand Narukami Shrine, Narukami Island
Standing at the summit of Mt. Yougou, the Grand Narukami Shrine protects the nation's traditions and sacred rites. It is the largest shrine in the entirety of Inazuma, and it houses The Great Sakura Tree. Traveler will most likely meet Yae Miko here for the first time, as she is the shrine's current guardian or maiden. We've also seen Ayaka visit this location on more than one occasion. We can't wait to get here ourselves.
Tsurumi, Watatsumi, and Seirai Islands
One of Genshin Impact‘s biggest appeals is its wonderful locations. Some of these locations have an air of mystery about them, making them very fun to explore. Players' curiosities will surely be piqued by the three islands of Tsurumi, Watatsumi, and Seirai Islands. Traveler will have the opportunity to unravel their mysteries. There will be a lot of treasures to be found, no doubt. But guarding these treasures are dangerous enemies and hazardous environments.
Tsurumi Island – a mysterious island perennially shrouded by fog. It hasn't seen many visitors, and the Traveler may as well be its first for a very long time.
Seirai Island – what looks like a volcanic island that had its core torn apart, its center is the eye of a never-ending storm.
Watatsumi Island – a seemingly calm and secluded island of Inazuma, which has a very distinct look compared to other locations in the region.
Bonus: Genshin Impact‘s Shiba-Inu owned Tea House
As a little bonus, we're adding the Komore Teahouse – a location we saw during the version 2.0 special program. This teahouse is unlike any other – its boss is a Shiba Inu named Taroumaru. Legend says that the teahouse's employees are contracted by Taroumaru to work there forever. Just like in traditional Japanese tea houses, the tea served don't have a price tag – customers leave their payment of any amount they deem appropriate in a special box.
However, before you get your hopes up, the Komore Teahouse isn't exactly a tourist spot that you can waltz in just so you can take a picture with the cute doggo manager. Only people approved by the powerful Kamisato Clan may come visit the Komore Teahouse. Still, with or without invitation, we can find the teahouse when we visit Inazuma City and adore it from the outside. Respectfully, from afar.
