Onimusha Way of the Sword Hidden Treasures: All 5 Locations

Quick answer

The five Hidden Treasures are a chain of short Chance Encounters tied to Yorimasa and Yasui Konpiragu Shrine. Use the numbered route below to find the drawing handoff, then travel to the matching Eastern Kyoto landmark. No. 3 is the exception to a shrine-only search: its route points to the woman west of the Shijo Street Spirit Mirror. The clue and the route landmark are more useful than searching every chest in the city.

Five Hidden Treasure locations

The mission reward is the Oni Treasure entry shown in the mission log. The five mission routes tie the drawings and hidden treasure to Yorimasa, while the handoff location varies by route. For No. 3, use the woman west of the Shijo Street Spirit Mirror shown in the route table. If the next drawing is not available, finish its story gate before searching the landmark. The separate chest-loot rows below come from the collectible guide; count the Oni Treasure ×1 as the guaranteed mission reward and the material rows as the chest contents to collect at the landmark.

Chest contents are separate from the mission reward

The Oni Treasure is the mission reward. The material popup from the revealed chest is separate. The collectible guide lists the following chest contents; use them as a practical loot note, not as part of the guaranteed mission reward:

Do not add these materials to the Oni Treasure ×1 mission-reward column. For a clean checklist, mark both mission completed and chest opened. No. 5 is also a collection stop: if the Skeleton Hozuki total is short, revisit the upper south side of Yasaka Pagoda after the No. 5 encounter is active.

Route No. 1: Kiyomizu-zaka rooftop

1. Finish A Tempest at the Temple.
2. Return to Yasui Konpiragu Shrine and speak with the NPC who gives Old Drawing No. 1.
3. Travel to the Kiyomizu-zaka Slope Spirit Mirror.
4. Look for the rooftop route near the mirror. Climb the two ladders to the top.
5. Use Oni Vision if the chest is obscured, then open it and complete the mission.

Route No. 2: waterfall below Yasaka Pagoda

1. Finish To Live Is to Suffer.
2. Return to Yasui Konpiragu Shrine and take Old Drawing No. 2.
3. Travel to the Yasaka Pagoda Spirit Mirror.
4. Move west to the small waterfall and descend to its bottom.
5. Check the base of the waterfall for the chest interaction.

Route No. 3: Kamo River garden gate

1. Finish Okuni’s Kabuki Dance.
2. Speak with the woman west of the Shijo Street Spirit Mirror to receive Old Drawing No. 3.
3. Travel to the Kamo River – East Spirit Mirror.
4. Search for the garden gate near the mirror.
5. Open the chest and return to the mission route if the completion prompt has not yet updated.

Route No. 4: balcony north-east of Gojo Street – East

1. Finish The Demon on the Mount.
2. Return to Yasui Konpiragu Shrine and take Old Drawing No. 4.
3. Travel to the Gojo Street – East Spirit Mirror.
4. Move north-east to the shrine-like building.
5. Check the left balcony, then use Oni Vision if the chest blends into the structure.

Route No. 5: south side of Yasaka Pagoda

1. Finish In the Light of an Icy Moon.
2. Return to Yasui Konpiragu Shrine and take Old Drawing No. 5.
3. Travel to Yasaka Pagoda and reach the upper level.
4. Check the south side rather than the base of the pagoda.
5. Open the chest and collect the Oni Treasure mission reward.

If the chest is not there

• Confirm that you took the correct drawing number from the shrine.
• Check the story gate; a later drawing is not available just because the shrine is open.
• Use the named Spirit Mirror as the route anchor rather than a similarly named street.
• At the correct landmark, use Oni Vision and inspect the upper level, balcony, waterfall base, or garden gate named in the table.
• If the mission objective completes but the chest reward is missing, reopen the chest interaction instead of leaving the area immediately.

Reading the five Old Drawings

The drawings are deliberately written as landmarks rather than full coordinates. Use the clue to narrow the area, then use the route anchor in the table. The important words are the final location, not the NPC’s story:

This is also why searching the shrine itself after receiving the drawing does not complete the objective. The shrine is the start point; the landmark is the completion point.

Gate order and return planning

The five entries do not all appear at once. No. 1 follows A Tempest at the Temple, No. 2 follows To Live Is to Suffer, No. 3 follows Okuni’s Kabuki Dance, No. 4 follows The Demon on the Mount, and No. 5 follows In the Light of an Icy Moon. If the NPC is absent, check the gate before travelling through every Eastern Kyoto street.

The most efficient cleanup order is to take the drawing when its NPC appears, finish the current story handoff if the area is unsafe, and then use the nearest Spirit Mirror. No. 1 and No. 2 are vertical or lower-level searches; No. 3 and No. 4 depend on a specific building or gate; No. 5 is a high-level pagoda search. Treating all five as ground-level chest hunts is the main reason players report that a drawing “does nothing.”

Reward handling

Each completed Hidden Treasure gives one Oni Treasure, while the chest gives the materials in the table above. If the mission counter updates before you open the chest, stay at the landmark and open it before leaving. No. 5 is also the Skeleton Hozuki stop.

Hidden Treasure troubleshooting

If the correct landmark is reached but the chest is not visible, use Oni Vision and inspect the vertical feature named by the clue. If the route is blocked, return to the Spirit Mirror and finish the gate mission. If the drawing number is wrong, go back to Yasui Konpiragu Shrine and confirm which NPC gave it to you. If the objective text is complete but no reward appears, interact with the chest once more and then return to the shrine or mission area.
