Tips from the community

Causing an endless cycle of mini disasters that resulted in one of the biggest banks of Japan to “bribe” the afterlife through opening a bank account under Masakudo’s name- this spot is evidently cursed. From ancient times, Masakudo wreaked havoc on Japan by inspiring the end of the government of Kyoto, and in modern times causing suspicious deaths and bankruptcy of major Japanese companies in the vicinity.
