Ghostwire: Tokyo has a plethora of interesting side quests and collectibles to find aside from the main story. One of these sides quests will see the player roaming the streets of Tokyo in search of adorable hidden Tanuki. Early in the story, the player will encounter a side quest called «Tanuki Hunt» which will introduce the player to the boss Tanuki. He will explain that his clan has separated across Tokyo and are hiding from the Visitors, and its up to the player to go and locate them for him.
Each shrine in Ghostwire: Tokyo will have a certain number of collectibles associated with it, so that the player can easily keep track of their progress. Not all shrines will have Tanuki, and the number hidden in each shrine is not consistent either. Some shrines will have only one, while others may have three. It is important of course first to clear the fog from the map by cleansing the torii gates. Keep in mind that it may not clear all the fog in that given area, keeping some collectibles hidden in it until further progress is made.
