[collapse=The Mysterious Murasame Castle]
Name: The Mysterious Murasame Castle

Description: The Mysterious Murasame Castle is a massive Edo era castle with up to five floors, each one being based on one of the few castles from the original game with some different aesthetics. There is an indoor and outdoor section for each area and you will see many animatronic enemies make an appearance to make the are more lively. Through the entire time, you will be guided by a woman dressed in a tradition a shrine maiden (miko) outfit to explain all about Takamaru's journey and the many special things about each "castle" in this attraction" (a different maiden explaining each floor).
In the first floor (Aosame Jo), you will see a vast Japanese forest so rounding it with sakura trees and puddles flu of koi. There will be a few animatronic ninjas hiding in certain spots and a few Bomb Shinobu to guard the outside of the castle. To the left side of the castle is a massive lake where even more animatronic ninjas are watching you from the waters (somethings rising out of them). Soon as you reach the inside, you'll be greeting with a maze like section with blue walls and many paper windows. The floor itself is wooden just like any other castle and there are stone replications of the fire breathing walls of the game in certain rooms. Ninjas will appear again with the Sword Samurai reenacting their usual defensive maneauvers. When you are near the end of each room, you'll meet a different shrine maiden that ill guide you to the next for with even more exposition of the castle's dark past. In the second floor (Aosame Jo), everything is now red with appearance of new enemies like Spear Samurai and Red Ninjas. There will be points where a Jealous Spirit "The fake princess" appears from a wall to give you a good scaring before disappearing. In the outside section of this floor, its a another garden with even more water (sometimes with wooden bridges to cross) and Tengu animatronics doing they special dance (Kabuki acting).
In the third floor (Ryokusame Jo), the inside is now green with Green Ninjas making an appearance with the notorious Fire Porters (obvious with fake flame effects surrounding it from the ground). Several rooms will contain even more ninjas ambushing you with the aforementioned Jealous Spirits appearing again. The outside section of this castle has a more jungle like theme unlike the other floors with even more vegetation and a massive marsh (complete with tall grass). There swill be some beautiful flowers to be scene of many Japanese species and more animatronic ninjas watching you. The flying Ninjas will be scene "jumping back and forth" from behind certain trees. In the fifth floor (Momosame Jo), all rooms are now bright pink with even more areas to go through (sometimes with Castle Guards greeting you with bombs in their hands). There will be even more Fire Porters and Pink Ninjas to make appears with more or less two Vengeful Sprits to ambush you at some point. The outside section has even more sakura tress that in the first floor with ninjas peeking from behind them. Peach trees are seen there as well with some replications of the game's land mines guarding them (Obviously meaning that you can't pic from them in this tour).
Last but not least, the final floor Murasame Jo being the most intense of them all with the more darker atmosphere and random enemy encounters. It has an outside section that is full of skulls and skeletons surrounding a purple lake that may have some Flame Throwers and Fire Demons "celebrating round it". The inside however has floors, walls, and everything else out of skulls like in the original game and more dreadful enemies greeting you through. The rooms will be fogging at some point with having red or black pools of water being around for sudden enemy encounters. Soon as you react the exit of the entire building (which is in the form of an elevator), you will be greater to a replica of Murasame himself as he towered above you and roars (scaring the final guide away at the last moment). To end this entire tour with a bang, Takamaru appears in the nick of time to execute an Inazuma Thunder technique to put an end to the alien creature's reign of terror. The brave samurai thanks you for taking on the castle's challenge and being brave enough to confront the beast alone. Soon as he leaves the area, you are free to take the massive elevator back to the bottom of the entire castle and leave the ride safety. [/collapse]
