Found in
- IzuharaIzuhara is the southern region of Tsushima and the first one you explore in Act 1. It is where you rescue Lord Shimura from Castle Kaneda, meet most of your allies and learn the stealth tools that turn Jin into the Ghost.
KamiagataKamiagata is the snowy northern region of Tsushima and the setting for Act 3. It is thinly settled and harsh, and it is where you chase Khotun Khan to his final stronghold at Port Izumi.- ToyotamaToyotama is the central region of Tsushima, between Izuhara and Kamiagata. Act 2 plays out here: you rally allies, liberate Yarikawa and march on Castle Shimura, while side tales for Norio, Yuna and Yuriko open up.
Good to know
- There are 49 Inari Shrines. Izuhara has 22, Toyotama has 17 and Kamiagata has 10.
- Early shrines add pieces toward new minor charm slots.
- Once every slot is open, shrines upgrade the Charm of Inari's Might and Charm of Silence instead.
- Honoring all 49 unlocks the Wolf of Tsushima mask.
- You can fast travel to any Fox Den you have found, even before honoring its shrine.
- On New Game+ each shrine also gives one Ghost Flower.
How they work
Spot a Fox Den, then follow the fox as it runs ahead. It leads you to the shrine. Press R2 to honor it. Afterwards you can usually pet the fox, which seems very happy about it.

Why they matter

- Charm of SilenceThe Charm of Silence is a minor Stealth charm in Ghost of Tsushima. Enemies detect you 15% slower and your Resolve gains rise, from minor to moderate to major as the charm improves. You get it by honoring 24 Inari Shrines.
