| Kurain Village...But I've heard people call this place "Medium Valley", too. |
Kurain Village, also colloquially known as "Medium Valley", is the hometown of the Fey clan of spirit mediums.
Geography
Kurain Village can be accessed from a train station near the Wright Anything Agency. The ride takes about two hours; the village is too far from the phone networks in Los Angeles for cell phones to get reception.
The little that is seen of the village seems to show a main street with houses lining either side with a mountain looming in the background.
The most noticeable building is Fey Manor, home to the Fey clan. This is the largest and most elegant building in the village. The other villagers reside in rustic, thatch-roofed houses that are smaller and more basic than the Manor.
A giant rock called the "Kurain Boulder" stands in the center of the village. It is vaguely reminiscent of a monolith in terms of shape. A rope is wrapped around the rock with curse seals hanging from it. An old sign stands beside it that reveals its origins, which Phoenix Wright once noted to be very complex but summarized as "a big stone for spirits to live in... Or something like that..."
There is also an old-style phone booth that doesn't particularly fit with the feel of the village, and an old bus stop. Wright used this phone to call the police when Turner Grey was murdered. Wright commented that traveling by bus seemed very inconvenient, as the buses only came three times per day.
Wright noted that the village seemed unusually quiet during his visit, with no sign of the other villagers. Indeed, the men, who do not have any spiritual power, usually work outside the village.
The village presumably also has some form of tourist trade as a wooden bear sculpture souvenir can be found in the Side Room in Fey Manor. The reason for the sculpture's form is apparently due the village being famous for its local bear population.

Crime scene
- Main article: Reunion, and Turnabout
Wright accompanied Grey to Kurain Village in June of 2017 as Grey had requested to see the acting and upcoming Master of the Kurain Channeling Technique, Maya Fey, so that he could talk to one of his former nurses. The nurse in question, Mimi Miney, had allegedly died shortly after a malpractice incident at his hospital.
In actuality, Grey was being used as a pawn in a plot against Maya. During the channelling, Maya was knocked out and replaced by Mimi Miney (who was still alive albeit in the guise of her dead sister) and proceeded to shoot Grey. Miney was dressed like Maya, so that it would be assumed that the heir to the title of Master of the Kurain Channelling Technique was responsible. However, Wright was able to figure out eventually that the entire chain of events was part of a plan to replace Maya with Pearl Fey as the next master by Morgan Fey, and Maya's innocence was proven.
Current status
At some point before Wright's final case, Maya appears to have returned to the village to take on her role as master. It can be assumed that she is living in the village during the events of Apollo Justice's apprenticeship to Wright.
