Many sea monster races live in the Ryugujo; these are not just limited to the unique races of Zipangu. The cities' nature is such that almost all unmarried monsters are employed by the Ryugujo's entertainment activities, in order to welcome guests. These functions are their best chance to find a partner. Hence, many monsters are proficient in arts such as dance, song, and musical instruments, all of which serve as weapons to entertain men-while the monsters keep watch for opportunities to take their enchanted guests (or get taken by their guests) to a place where they can lie down. All the monsters, from guides to dancers, are thus strongly motivated to welcome guests with the most earnest of graces and entertain them all extravagantly.

The palaces of the Ryugujo are also open to guests. Grand banquets of lavish food and drinks are set before them day and night, with countless dancers flitting through the water as they welcome scores of humans to the palace. The human visitors are swallowed up in the fantastic, yet somehow sensual, atmosphere of the gorgeous, dancing monsters as many of the men are loosened by the fine liquors that the monsters pour for them. The monsters are thus provided with an excellent chance to take them off to the bedroom. And the more men gather, the more monsters gather to entertain them.

The Ryugujo are cities of amusement. Beyond their palaces, there are yet more halls for food, drink, recreation, and gambling-as well as theaters where dancers with entrancing bodies and songstresses with beautiful voices display their gifts. Even the streets thrum with performers and vendors. Though the cities are not as crowded with men as the palaces, they are still popular with the monsters as they make providing for a specific man one-on-one much easier.

It is not all noise and bustle in the cities; many charming places for quiet relaxation can be found, such as the gardens where all four seasons can be enjoyed throughout the year even under the sea. Though these places are sparser, there are quite a few monsters who like to work here, for opportunities to be alone with a man and create a romantic atmosphere are ample. In sum, every corner in a Ryugujo is filled with entertainment and monsters waiting for the chance to serve men.

The cities' festivities and facilities differ among the various Ryugujo found throughout the waters of Zipangu, all depending on the tastes of the otogime and the character of its residents.
