Kaede Castle

Region: World Tour
Roads: Zipangu (JapanMS)
Kaede Castle is one of the strongest areas in Zipangu. On the outside of the castle there are many lower level minions. Once the player enters the castle, the monsters instantly become stronger, and by the time a player reaches the center, the monsters reach level 100 plus. The maps are difficult to navigate, as there are no blue portals to signify doorways, and there are trap doors that can send a player backwards all over the place. Subi throwing stars and arrows can be seen sticking out of the walls,and even walked on. There are pictures of the Feudal Lord of the castle all over the place. At the heart is the highest level boss in the game, the castle's lord, who transforms into a giant purple toad.

Kaede Castle Gates
Kaede Castle Gates - Town areaThis is a small single map town that can be accessed from Mushroom Shrine, via two men who carry a litter. There are NPCs who give quests and sell the same items that are available in Showa Town. There is another map before entrance into the tower where a number of NPCs are also gathered, though unlike a traditional town map there are also monsters here. It is the newest Zipangu extension and currently only available in JapanMS.
