Ghost of Yōtei Interactive Map

The Ghost of Yōtei Map brings the whole region together so you can see how its plains, ridges and coasts connect. Since it also works as a full Ghost of Yōtei Interactive Map, it gives you a clear look at where shrines, hot springs, services, collectibles, tales and points of interest sit across the six major zones: Ishikari Plain, Nayoro Wilds, Oshima Coast, Teshio Ridge, Tokachi Range and the Yōtei Grasslands. The world has a calm look at first, but once you start exploring, you’ll notice how many small details hide in the routes between forests and cliffs. With everything laid out, the map helps you plan smoother paths, follow tales more naturally and find upgrades without wandering in circles. And because the landscape spreads wide, it feels good having a guide that shows how the world is connected beneath it all.

What the Map Can Do

Regional Coverage Overview

Once you look at the map as a whole, the regions start feeling distinct. Ishikari Plain sits wide and open, and it’s the kind of place where Points of Interest and shrines sit just off the beaten path. Nayoro Wilds stretch deeper into forests and rolling terrain, which is why you’ll see Wolf Dens, Altars of Reflection and Sumi-e Painting spots tucked into quieter pockets. Oshima Coast runs along long shorelines with plenty of collectibles and Tales that encourage exploring near water. Teshio Ridge twists through higher elevations, and you can tell from the spread of Mountain Reliquaries and shrines that the game wants you climbing and crossing narrow paths. Tokachi Range feels harsher, with Occupied Locations and Bamboo Strikes giving you reasons to train or fight. And the Yōtei Grasslands bring everything together in open, peaceful fields dotted with Tales, Vanity Gear and charm-related rewards.

Because each region has its own tone, the categories help you get a feel for what you might find before you even step foot there. You can see where routes get tougher, where more collectibles cluster and where services sit if you need gear or upgrades.

Exploration Activities, Collectibles and Services

The world comes alive through its exploration points. Altars of Reflection sit in scenic places that reward a moment of calm, while Bamboo Strikes help sharpen your timing and feel like small, focused challenges. Hot Springs show up in perfect spots when you need a breather. Inari Shrines tend to appear in natural settings, showing you where the land feels spiritually charged. Familiar Locations and Sumi-e Painting spots give the world more personality, and they break up longer travel sessions.

Occupied Locations add danger, especially when they sit near Tales that pull you into enemy territory. Pillars of the Fallen often mark somber moments in the story, while Shrines, Reliquaries and Wolf Dens create their own small micro-zones around each region.

Collectibles spread across the map give you plenty to chase. Ainu Findings add cultural notes tied to the land. Armor pieces and Charms sit in places that usually feel earned once you reach them. Lord Saito Missives push you toward bits of hidden storytelling, and Puzzle Boxes add simple mysteries that reward poking around. Shamisen Songs show up in spots connected to tradition or quiet beauty. Vanity Gear appears everywhere and always gives you a fun reason to try new looks while exploring.

Services help anchor you in the world. Armorers and Bowyers handle upgrades and gear improvements. Cartographers help you mark progress or prepare for new regions. Farriers offer support for movement and equipment. Merchants cover the basics, while Scavengers offer unconventional finds. Onryo Gift Altars and Weapon Masters sit in more focused places and guide you toward higher-tier tools or rewards. Bounty Boards help push you into tougher tasks spread across the land.

Tales, Story Flow and Long-Term Progression

The story beats spread across the map through Tales. Myth Tales take you toward spiritual or supernatural elements. Revenge Tales pull you into darker corners of the world. Sensei Tales push your combat skills and guide you into duels or advanced techniques. Standard Tales fill the gaps and move the narrative along at a steady pace. Bounties show up often and help break long sessions into smaller tasks. Once you see them all together, you start to understand how the world pushes you from calm exploration into sudden conflict and back again.

Hidden Altars, Easter Eggs and Miscellaneous spots add little surprises that make the world feel lived in. They’re usually tucked behind cliffs or near worn paths, so noticing them while traveling always feels like a small reward.

When you start mixing all of this together, the Ghost of Yōtei Interactive Map becomes a solid tool for pacing your adventure. You might set out for a Tale, take a detour to a shrine, grab a charm or vanity piece along the way, stop by a Cartographer to update your view, then finish off the evening with a Bounty or a Bamboo Strike. The map doesn’t just show you where things are. It helps you find a rhythm that feels right for how you want to play.
