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

Treat Fish as a category-level request. Do not assume a specific normal fish, Nushi fish, quality or bait condition.

Possible random outcomes

Possible: Standard Magatama
Possible: Rain Magatama
Possible: Twin Magatama
Possible: Child Magatama
Possible: Sword / 剣
Possible: Mirror / 鏡

Mirror / 鏡 is kept separate from the existing Bronze Mirror / 銅鏡 record until the source mapping is resolved. No odds are published.

Choice and reward reference

Which seasonal yokai should you prioritize?

Match the route to the resource you need; this is a functional comparison, not a universal ranking.

Need a specific Magatama?

Use Mujina in Spring or Tofu Kozō in Autumn and select the corresponding dialogue answer.

Need Jinbei?

Complete the Kappa request successfully for the first documented completion.

Need Bronze Mirrors?

Complete the Kappa request successfully for the second documented completion to receive ×7.

Want random rare possibilities?

Try Nekomata in Winter, but plan around a random reward rather than a guarantee.

The four Magatama rewards are Shrine resources, not equipable buffs. See the Magatama guide for types, uses and Shrine Skill costs. Bronze Mirror also appears in the Shrine Skill system; the possible Nekomata Mirror / 鏡 remains a separate unresolved mapping.

Troubleshooting

Why did the interaction not work?

You are in the wrong season for the yokai you expected.
You are at a fishing spot, but not the Crossroads Fishing Spot.
You are fishing during the day instead of exploring Midnight.
The request is category-level and you assumed an unverified species or quantity.
You chose a Magatama answer without matching its Japanese option text.
You expected Kappa's Bronze Mirror reward on the first completion.
You treated Nekomata's random pool as a guarantee.
You waited for an unverified 05:00 event cutoff.
You are looking for a third-plus Kappa reward that is not documented here.
