Overview

Inaba is a small town in rural Japan and the setting of the events of Shin Megami Tensei:  Persona 4. Throughout the game, the player can run around Inaba and talk to residents, visit shops, work part-time jobs, and take on different side quests.  Normally a quiet town, Inaba becomes the focus of media attention after a serial killer strikes and murders both the disgraced TV reporter Mayumi Yamano (Character) and Saki Konishi (Character), the high school student that discovered Mayumi's body.  

Places of Note

During the course of Persona 4, the player visits a variety of locations in and around Inaba.  Some of the more notable landmarks include:
