If you venture from the second town by heading one screen to the east, and one screen north, you can see the next town across the river quite clearly. Unfortunately, it's not nearly so easy to reach. Instead, you'll have to travel due north from the second town until you reach a mountain range along a coast line. Then follow this land as it heads east. Hug the southern coastline until it leads you to a bridge that you must cross.
After crossing the bridge, you'll arrive at an unusual screen that is occupied by a single tree. You can actually walk up to this tree to talk to it. It will inform you that you can't enter the Eastern Castle without the Moon Mask. That will be the next item to acquire after you visit the third town, which happens to be just one more screen to the west from the tree.
This town is pretty much identical to the previous town with two exceptions: The tea now costs 16 gold per drink, and there's a new weapon for sale, the ice sword, which is a much better upgrade from the long spear, than the long spear was from the light axe. Before you embark on the quest for the Moon Mask, you should make sure you have the steel shield and at least the light axe equipped.
