The Eastern Kingdom of Mikado, also simply known as Mikado, is a location in Shin Megami Tensei IV and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse. It is a kingdom founded by Aquila over 1,500 years ago and kept safe thanks to its Samurai.

Gameplay

Mikado is divided into two main districts: one for the Luxurors and one for the Casualries. In the past, the caste system of Mikado dictated that the Luxorors, who work in more advanced fields, while the poorer Casualries, who do manual labor, should seldom interact with each other.[1] In the center of the walls dividing the layers of the kingdom lies Mikado Castle, as well as the Monastery.

Inside of Mikado Castle, there are two plazas: the Obelisk Plaza and the Aquila Statue Plaza, where the entrance to Naraku is, as well as the castle's city. The Obelisk Plaza contains an obelisk, on which is inscribed the history of the kingdom, as well as details and the war between the angels and demons, and the founding of the Samurai. The Aquila Statue Plaza contains a large statue of Aquila, the first King of Mikado, with the entrance to Naraku directly below. To the left and right are various shops and stations, as well as the Samurai Barracks.
