Shrine Climbs count as one of the lengthy collectibles in Ghost of Yotei because every climb can take from four to seven minutes, depending on how fast you can spot where to go next. There are 13 Shrine Climbs in the game, and all of them are easy to locate and complete.
At the entrance of these shrines will be multiple Torii gates that players can spot from a distance and make their way there. These are also linked to one of the more time-consuming trophies. The guide below includes their locations and what charms players can get at each of these shrines in Ghost of Yotei.

Fall’s Rest Shrine |
|
Charm of Kanayago |
This shrine is located to the northeast of Shirage Falls, to the south of the region. The climb isn’t that hard, but it rewards the Charm of Kanayago, which is a must-have, as it increases the amount of common and rare metals and black powder collected when scavenging. |
Blooming Ridge Shrine |
|
Charm of Amenowakahiko |
This is right below the Serpent’s Pass on the map, to the northeast side of the region. You will have to take this path while going to the Tokachi Range. |
Mount Yotei Shrine |
|
Mother’s Charm Father’s Charm |
To the west of the Yotei River is a path leading to the entrance of the Mount Yotei Shrine. This takes you all the way up to the peak of Mount Yotei, where you can find two charms, an Altar of Reflection, and this is also the place where Takezo the Unrivalled (Side Tale) ends. |

Sun’s Peak Shrine |
|
Charm of Izanagi |
This is to the south of Otaru Beach, and when you first reach this area, you will come across the Nishin Fishery, which is a Yotei Six camp. There aren’t many enemies here, so deal with them however you like, and once that is done, go along the shore to spot a path going through a bridge and a Torii gate in the distance. |
Winding Tears Shrine |
|
Charm of Homusubi |
This shrine is to the east of Nakagoya Spring, near one of the Sumi-e paintings. |
Azure Wind Shrine |
|
Charm of Hachiman |
You can find this shrine right above the Yukai’s Nest to the north of the region. This is one of the shrines that can be accessed through the main story when you are completing the Oni’s questline. |

Amber Respite Shrine |
|
Charm of Masakado |
This shrine is to the northeast of Ohara Plains, after you find the Dead Man’s Tree, where Taro is usually found. The charm here allows you to revive at full health if you have the Onryo’s Will skill unlocked. |
Faithful Leap Shrine |
|
Charm of Futsunushi |
You can find the entrance of this shrine if you ride northeast of the Twin Ponds of Hidaka on the map. This is one of the harder shrines to complete because there are multiple occasions through the climb where you might get confused as to where you have to go. There are quite a few branches that are not accessible until you hook them and draw them closer, so watch out for these. |
Risen Fog Shrine |
|
Charm of Kibitsuhiko |
This is to the extreme north of the region, right below the Great Lake. You have to take the boat here when going to Nayoro Wilds, so this fast travel point will probably be unlocked for you, and you can easily reach the shrine from here. |

Charm of Yamatotakeru |
This is the only Shrine Climb in the Nayoro Wilds region and is located to the north of the Iwor Mountains. You will have quite a few fast travel points unlocked here if you went past the region to access Teshio Ridge for Kitsune’s questline. |

Enduring Hold Shrine |
|
Charm of Masaka |
This shrine is to the northwest of Sentinel Forest. You can get the Charm of Masaka here, which restores your health when using Smoke Bombs. This is a great charm to have, especially on higher difficulties, when you want to get out of risky situations and also regain health you might have lost to attacks. |
Chilled Peak Shrine |
|
Charm of Sukunahikona |
If you are going for the Mountain Reliquaries puzzles as well, you can get both of these done at the same time. This shrine is located to the north of Sarobetsu Lake. Before reaching the shrine, you will come across a frozen lake where you have to go around to find a path going up, and this leads to the Reliquary of Compassion, so be sure to do that as well. |

Budding Grace Shrine |
|
Charm of Takemikazuchi |
For this Shrine, players will first have to access the Oshima Coast region. This is the only region that is not available at the start of the game after the tutorial. Instead, you will have to complete the Kitsune’s and Oni’s questlines and progress through the Saito Brothers’ quest until the game takes you to the final region. After a main story segment, you can freely explore the region and make your way to the south near Esan Inlet to find the entrance to the Shrine. |
- There are more shrines in the game, but they are linked to side quests, are not required for the trophy, and do not count as the main Shrine Climbs.
What’s the Reward for Completing All Shrine Climbs in Ghost of Yotei?
Once you have interacted with all the shrines at the Shrine Climbs, you will get the Golden Mask, which is a direct reference to Higgs’ mask from Death Stranding. You will also get closer to acquiring the Body, Mind, and Spirit trophy.
Similar to Ghost of Tsushima, masks are purely cosmetic items and offer no passive effects, so the Golden Mask is only for the looks.
