    Showa technically never went anywhere, though I think any way to enter it normally were removed, while the original maps stayed.

    If you needed to go to Showa Town for some reason, such as one of the Princess No prequests, you could use a Hyper Tele to get there.

    I actually went through a few times and entered what seemed to be very bizarre Mushroom Shrine maps that were.... probably remnants of the old Shrine before the revamp, because the layouts were similar but there were some floating trees and such.

    Also Neo City/Florina Beach are kinda MIA now. Chryse is technically the Chryse PQ, and I kinda miss old Kerning Square.

    You could've entered Showa even before this current patch. You just needed to be lvl 160+ to enter Vanished Village at revamped Shrine, and then one of the maps here had the portal to Showa.
    You could do easy Reward Coins from hunting Grandpa everyday

    For those who explored the revamped Showa Town, what is your favorite part of the update?

    It's about as mediocre as it's always been. I'm a little salty my bains map I used for 120-130 mules is now some bizarre snake thing with garbage spawn and The Boss has a babyface.

    Showa Town was still accessible from this point on by going to the last map of the Mushroom Shrine, through the Vanished Village area.

    The only requirement was that you needed to be a pretty high level (I believe it was between 160 - 180) to get through for some reason, and I guess it brings us to where we're at now - a revamp coming soon.

    And of course, you can always go to the sauna and purchase a bunch of those milk items that let you return to Showa Town.

    (7-14-2018) Now the pelican looking taxi in six path crossway can take you directly to Showa town ... Also the mobs around the area are quite stronger than their level would insinuate. I wonder if Faito's exchange items have been updated as well??

    After a few months after the revamp here are my conclusions - Showa's hideout maps are GREAT for classes that excel in flat maps. (Xenon with Blade Dance, Phantom with Mille Aiguilles)
    For them it's the best option from lvl 160 until like lvl 180.

    It's great for other classes as well, but from lvl 170+ Omega Sector becomes better.

    HP consumption is very high tho. Need to pay attention to the HP bar especially if you're playing with 0 defense class such as Xenon

    I want Neo city. It is a really amazing map, but now we only have access to a glance of it in level 160 monster park. We need more.

    I also would like to see Kerning Square (along with tower, or replace it)
