Tendo Dojo



The Tendo Dojo is the traditional residence of the Tendo family in Furinkan, and refers to the compound including the house and grounds, not just the dojo proper. It is the most frequently seen location in the series.

Genma and Ranma Saotome began living here after they arrived, effectively becoming permanent residents. This leads to an increased degree of activity in and around the dojo due to their interactions with various other characters who come to call.

Overview
Despite being located in the middle of a city, the dojo, home, and grounds themselves take up a decent amount of space. The entire area is surrounded by a stone wall topped with blue tiles. As there is only one gate, a common means for several characters to arrive is either by jumping over the wall or smashing through it, usually through the section opposite the living room.

Dojo


The dojo is separate from the house and is centered around a large hall for sparring or fights. Akane Tendo tends to practice here and it was where she an Ranma and had their first sparring bout. They also fought the Dojo Destroyer as well as Natsumi and Kurumi here. Due to its size the dojo was also used to host a Christmas party.

Grounds
The grounds are composed of a lawn, on which are planted several trees and bushes. The most notable feature is a fish pond with stepping stones leading from it to the house. Genma and Ranma tend to fight over the fish pond, usually resulting in one or both of them falling in. They also tend to throw the other into the pond when they are upset.

House


The house is a traditional two story Japanese home. The downstairs consists of the following:


 * Bathroom: This includes a furo in which the residents will typically soak in. It faces a window, which provides another means of exit and entry.
 * Genkan: The main entrance, where guests and residents leave their shoes before stepping inside.
 * Kitchen
 * Living/dining room: A large room that serves as both a living and dining room and the most commonly seen location in the house. It faces a walkway and depending on the time of the year and the weather, the shōji facing the surrounding wall can be opened to give a view of the pond and garden and allow people to sit on the walkway.  There is a TV in this room.  The table is used as a dining table and has been used by Akane to hit Ranma with.

The second floor consists of the following:
