The world map

Central to the gameplay of Jidaigeki da yo Zenin Shūgō is the encounter map (accessed by pressing Start button and then B button). Finding these people results in either a boss battle or a cutscene. In order to progress the storyline you need to fight the bosses and watch the cutscenes, and the map will help you find your way.

Note that the map is not exact: a boss icon may be to the right of yours on the map, but this does not mean you actually go to the right of your current position to fight him. Bosses move about freely, so this walkthrough can only give the order in which they are fought. Some bosses are fought more than once during the course of the story. When you defeat a boss there is a chance that he will ask to join you. Simply pick a response and hit A button (hitting B button will decline the offer, regardless of which option the pointer is on). You can then change your partner in the starting house (where you met Bunzo).

One of the first items you should acquire is the Map CRSR (Map Cursor), which costs 3000 Ryo. This allows you to travel on the world map itself (with Neutral dpad and A button) just as the other characters do.

The order of events is below. Optional events can be skipped, but all others cannot.

It's not quite the end yet, though. After this you get offered Okoto's hand in marriage. If you decline Kunio will leave, explaining that he is a drifter and that she deserves better. If you agree, Kunio gets the girl... and some sake!
