There are many gambling dens, along with whore houses, found within easy reach of the wharfs where the traders make land for the first time in many weeks for some of them.Fojino
The warehouses, craftshalls, and independent traders can be found within this DIstrict, from woodworkers, to net makers to blacksmiths making the nessecary metal parts of the major industry of the town.Kajacho
The oldest part of the town with the narrow streets sandwiched between 4 other districts, this is the home of many fishing families, while the husbands go out to work, the women stay at home and look after the children and homes, but if you took the wrong turn you may only come out lighter of your purse if not worst.Hinode Gao

Tokjan allows for Prostitution, gambling and either blood sports, as long as everyone involved consents, and slaves are not allowed to be used in such vices and sports, everyone involved in such trades is register and checked by officals to reduce risks to everyone involved. These aren't illegal in the Imperium but are very much down to individual noble houses if they allowed in their holdings.
