Specifically,Ghost of Yoteiwill take place in the regions around Mount Yotei.
This mountain can be seen towering above the world setting.
It’s situated in the heart of Ezo, the area of Japan known today as Hokkaido.
Interestingly, Mount Yotei and the lands around it were free from the rule of Japan.
And while the area enjoyed independence, it still flourished with lush grasslands and snowy plains.
