Midnight Seasonal Yokai Guide
Village in the Shade Crossroads Fishing Spot Yokai Guide
During Midnight, the yokai at the Crossroads fishing spot changes with the season: Mujina in Spring, Kappa in Summer, Tofu Kozō in Autumn, and Nekomata in Winter. Each asks for different items and offers different rewards, including Magatama, Jinbei, Bronze Mirrors, and other rare resources.
English yokai, item and location names currently follow the site's Japanese-release terminology and may be updated after the official English localization can be verified on October 27, 2026.

Route
How the system works
The interaction is tied to Crossroads Fishing Spot / 辻の釣り場, not to ordinary daytime fishing.
01
Enter Midnight exploration.
02
Go to the Crossroads Fishing Spot.
03
Speak to the seasonal yokai.
04
Bring the requested item or category of items.
05
Choose an answer if the yokai presents dialogue choices.
06
Receive the corresponding fixed, choice-based or random reward.
Seasonal visitors are documented at this location during Midnight. Exact every-night guarantees, cooldowns and reset timing are not asserted. The event-specific 05:00 behavior is unresolved; the global Midnight forced-return boundary is 06:00.
Spring
Spring: Mujina / ムジナ
Bring Spring vegetables / 春の野菜. The source wording does not establish a universal quantity or complete accepted-item list.
Request
Spring vegetables
春の野菜
If you need a specific Magatama, use the answer mapping rather than assuming the request itself determines the variant.
Mujina choice rewards
「渦巻いてる…」
Working meaning: Spiral-shaped
Reward: Rain Magatama / 雨の勾玉
「双子…」
Working meaning: Twins
Reward: Twin Magatama / ふたごの勾玉
「足のある…」
Working meaning: Has feet
Reward: Child Magatama / 子どもの勾玉
「どれも違う…」
Working meaning: None of these
Reward: Standard Magatama / 勾玉
Rain Magatama answer: choose 「渦巻いてる…」 — working meaning: “Spiral-shaped”.
Summer
Summer: Kappa / 河童
Kappa is the clearest targeted route for Jinbei and the documented seven Bronze Mirror follow-up.
Request
Cucumber ×30
キュウリ ×30
1st documented completion
Jinbei / 甚平
This is the first documented Kappa reward. No clothing effect or catalog classification is added here.
2nd documented completion
Bronze Mirror ×7
The existing canonical resource is 銅鏡 / Bronze Mirror. Third-and-later rewards are unknown.
The request is listed as Cucumber ×30. Current evidence does not settle the exact inventory timing, “next day” behavior or a later repeat table, so this guide does not invent one.
Autumn
Autumn: Tofu Kozō / 豆腐小僧
Bring Tofu / 豆腐. Current Japanese guide data uses the same four-option Magatama mapping as Spring, while the accepted quantity remains unresolved.
Request
Tofu
豆腐
Do not read an exact number into the singular item wording. The present source set does not establish one.
Tofu Kozō choice rewards
「渦巻いてる…」
Working meaning: Spiral-shaped
Reward: Rain Magatama / 雨の勾玉
「双子…」
Working meaning: Twins
Reward: Twin Magatama / ふたごの勾玉
「足のある…」
Working meaning: Has feet
Reward: Child Magatama / 子どもの勾玉
「どれも違う…」
Working meaning: None of these
Reward: Standard Magatama / 勾玉
Rain Magatama uses the same documented answer here: 「渦巻いてる…」 — working meaning: “Spiral-shaped”.
Winter
Winter: Nekomata / 猫又
Bring Fish / 魚 for a random reward. The public evidence does not establish a species, quality, quantity or probability table.
Request
Fish
魚
Treat Fish as a category-level request. Do not assume a specific normal fish, Nushi fish, quality or bait condition.
Possible random outcomes
Mirror / 鏡 is kept separate from the existing Bronze Mirror / 銅鏡 record until the source mapping is resolved. No odds are published.
