Shinsenkyō (Japanese: 神仙郷, lit. Divine Paradise), also known as Kotaku (こたく), is a fictional island and the main setting of the manga series Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku and its video game adaption Jigokuraku: Paradise Battle. It is located southwest of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The island is inhabited by a group monsters known as Lord Tensen and had been said to possess the legendary Elixir of Life, which had been sought out by humans for centuries. Kotaku is the main setting throughout the series.
Following the events prompted by the Vanguard Party, the Tao of the island would be destroyed and left on the verge of dying. The creation and design of Shinsenkyo is based on Mount Penglai, a mystic land in Chinese mythology.
