The Castle:
Kaishin Castle. This castle is the main frame of all the Kaishin of the snow village and spans an area of 250mx250m with three stories with the surrounding land being five-hundred acres, established when Kotaro Kaishin’s family moved to the land of snow, has since served as the Kaishin stronghold in the village. Constructed by now deceased workers, the castle’s secrets remain in tact but the deaths of the workers were never solved and they died under questionable circumstances.
The castle has a variety of servants and guards patrolling the area to ensure that some of the clans’ more secret accounts remain secret and the clan members currently residing in the castle remain safe. Guests to the mansion have to report to a gate located at the front of the mansion beyond the boarders of the castle moat, the moat helping keep attackers at bay, constantly being heated so that it won’t freeze over and become useless to the Kaishin family.
The Great Castle Wall
The Kaishin's Great Castle Wall. Stands fifteen meters above the ground, runs completely around the boarder of the five-hundred acre Kaishin property and is stategically reinforced to be able to withstand a powerful explosive force. There is a gate in this wall one would also have to report to before entering the building else they'd suffer the wrath of a hundred armed security guards. There is also moat surrounding this wall and to reach the gate one would have to cross a bridge.
The Castle Gate:
The Castle Gate is the only way to get into the Castle's compound without going over it. There are actually two iron gates located at this point, each one of them resistant to high degree of fire. There are at all times a minimum of two guards stationed at each gate and the only way to open them is by means of a control panel located in a small room to the side of the pathway in between the gates which is maned by a single guard equaling a total of five guards stationed at the gate at all times.
Reception Hall:
Upon entering the front door of this castle one would reach the entry hallway. This hallway is twenty meters long and is adorned with various chairs, chandeliers, expensive rugs and curtains, and is something of a waiting room, potential guests having to sign in here and then wait for clan reception. There is an obelisk in this room and two small vases of water, it is here where one must prove their clan heritage and pass a test in order to be trained by the Kaishin that reside in the castle.
Dining Room:
The dinning room, where the members of the Kaishin clan dine in the comfort of royal luxury, catered to by some of the finest chefs the land of snow has to offer and though the quantity of chefs in the land is small the quality of the food is beyond exceptional. This room is incredibly large and the only people allowed in this area of the castle are Kaishin clan members, guests and the catering staff, regular guards and servants only allowed access in the case of extreme urgency.
Lounge:
This room is where the clan relax after a hard days work. The Kaishin clan is by nature held in high regard in the land of snow for their ice working abilities and as such is mostly put on for services that would be for village defence in high stress positions. It is for this reason that the Kaishin have this room for their relaxation as it is here where the clan members burn incense and read a good book in the comfort of royal furniture.
Conference Room:
This is the conference room where Keiko as the self elected leader of the snow village Kaishin sect discusses matters that regard the Kaishin clan. It sports a large desk where Keiko keeps a lot of papers dealing with her, and the rest of her family’s, shinobi work and she can entertain a large group of people in the room so that group decisions can be made with select representatives so that group decisions can be made so that the hierarchy of the clan can not be compromised.
Kotaro's Room:
Kotaro’s room represent a mixture of male and female influences, mirroring his body image. The main features of this room are the king sized bed in the center of the room fixed with light blue royal veils for his privacy, the bedside table and mirror large enough for him to keep a portion of his clothing and the chest at the back of his bed where he keeps an emergency supply of weaponry for the in case of… Well, an emergency. There’s also a tea set in his room so he can speak with some of the servants while sipping on some of the finest tea the snow village has to offer.
Keiko's and Yukio's Room:
The bedroom of Keiko Kaishin and Yukio Koikaze. Simple in its design and decoration, this rooms’ main feature are of course the king sized bed with red veils of royalty. The bed sheets match the rest of the rooms’ colour scheme with a pattern of orange, two bed side tables are by the bed, each one being adorned with a large lamp and a fire place in the side of the room, Yukio selecting this room specifically because of the fireplace with the man not liking the cold.
Vacant Rooms:
The castle is fixed with many unoccupied rooms where guests may spend the night. All these rooms while not as expertly decorated as the rooms of Keiko, Yukio and Kotaro’s are each properly decorated as if people of high importance were to be residing in the room. There is a king sized bed, fitted with white privacy curtains and sheets, a white sofa and a small coffee table. There are a total of forty eight rooms like this, each one 9mx9m.
The Basement:
An empty room, 30mx30m, down in the basement where training for Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and the like may occur. There are beams high up in the roof for agility training and windows that provide the room with light as there are no other lights within the area. Yukio trains Taijutsu here a lot.
Panic Room:
This room is used when there is an imminent threat to the castle and a place to hide is needed. To reach this room one must traverse down a flight of fifty meter long stairs and is twenty stories underground. As the Kaishin clan are a shinobi based clan most of the clan would usually be out defending the land making this room redundant but this room is used for Kaishin clan members that are not battle able such as children and elderly. This room is also used by servants and fitting with the rest of the castle is fitted with all the luxuries one could ask for including sofa’s, a TV, food and drink, etc.
Escape Tunnels:
Once again for purposes of emergency there are a variety of underground tunnels that lead out and away from the castle underground that come up five miles away from said castle in an area with heavy woodland cover. These tunnels are to be used when there are no alternatives and the castle can not be saved, providing a means of escape to the occupants of the castle.
