Shizume Town is the base of HOMRA.[1] Being one of the cities of Tokyo Metropolis[2], it's not that distant from School Island.[1] With robotic cleaners, convenient means of transportation and other great advancements in technology, the town maintains a high standard of living.[3]
Localization[]
Shizume Town is located on the eastern side of Tokyo Metropolis.
Society[]
Some parts of Shizume Town are controlled by their respective gangs, fuming a rivalry between different groups. It is shown that the world is aware of the existence of the Clans and their Kings, as Akagi had heard the rumors which made him want to join HOMRA and a gang member had also asked Yata and the others if they were from HOMRA. However, despite the fact that the HOMRA members were shown using their powers in broad daylight with lots of witnesses, it is shown that it isn't treated as a big deal.[3]

Trivia[]
- Shizume comes from Ho-shizume-no-matsuri (鎮魂祭)(mass or ceremony for the repose of a soul), its a festival honoring the god Kagutsu to appease him to to ward off the destructive effects of Kagutsuchi for six months. This reference to Homura pertaining to the fiery imagery associated with HOMRA and Genji Kagutsu the previous Red King.
- The names of places in the map shown when tracking Shiro & Co. are mostly tweaks of Tokyo Metro Subway station names. Comparing the names in these two maps, Shizume is at the position of Shibuya.
