How to Play Gozonji: Yaji Kita Chin Douchuu

Quick start

Press Start at the title to reach the opening menu, then choose the first option for a new journey or the second to continue. Use the D-pad to highlight a command and A to execute it. If the story stalls, talk to and question the same person more than once, inspect every conspicuous object, and try showing or using inventory items. An up or down triangle means that more choices are available on another page; move to them with the D-pad, and press B to cancel a mistaken command. At each meal shop, copy the revival haiku exactly and enter it with the D-pad when continuing. Keep the latest haiku before the final chapter so that you can retry different item choices and see its alternate developments.

Controls

D-pad: select commands and targets, move between option pages when triangle markers appear, and enter characters in a revival haiku. A: execute the selected command and advance dialogue. B: cancel the current command and return. Start: move from the title screen to the start menu; the manual describes pressing it twice during the initial start sequence. While a character's text is being drawn, a button other than A speeds up its display. The original manual documents no dedicated Select function.

Gozonji: Yaji Kita Chin Douchuu — About this game

Gozonji Yaji Kita Chin Douchuu is a 1989 Famicom adventure from HAL Laboratory inspired by the comic travel classic Tokaidochu Hizakurige. After quarreling with Oharu, Yajirobei leaves for Ise with his companion Kitahachi and stumbles into a new oddity at each stop along the Tokaido. The six chapters mix supernatural encounters, a murder mystery, absurd cameos, and playful anachronisms. Progress comes from choosing commands such as talk, ask, look, move, show, and use, then selecting a person, place, or item. Most of the journey is linear, but choices and item order in the last chapter can alter the outcome. A revival haiku received from Matsuo Basho at meal shops works as the password for continuing later. This cartridge remains entirely in Japanese.
