In Japanese legend, Ryūgū-jō (竜宮城) is the undersea palace of Ryujin, the dragon god of the sea. It is built from red and white coral. On each of the four sides of the palace is a different season, and one day at the palace is like 100 years on earth. In legend, Urashima Tarō visits Ryūgū-jō.
Katase-Enoshima Station in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, is designed to evoke the feeling of Ryūgū-jō.
As a side note, Ryugu-jo was said to be filled with Ryujin (the Dragon King)'s servants, who were fish, jellyfish, or other aquatic animals. It was also said to be made of crystal, possibly.Template:Myth-stub
