This Ghostwire: Tokyo guide will show you where to find all of the Tanuki in the game. Each of them is in the territory of a specific Torii Gate Shrine, and you can see how many are in an area by hovering of a Shrine’s icon on the map. Some Shrines (but not all) have Offering Boxes, at which you can spend 500 Meika to show the location of a Tanuki. You can also read the minds of cats for hints to nearby locations.
Tanuki disguise themselves as all manner of things, from vending machines to gravestones to billboards. You can tell an object is one of the mischievous little creatures by looking for a tail waving from an object.
Where to Find All Missing Tanuki in Ghostwire Tokyo
You’ll begin your quest for finding these critters after cleansing the Shiroyama Shrine in Chapter 2. Afterward, Boss Tanuki will appear near the Shrine and give you the Tanuki Hunt side quest. Once you’ve found all of the locations in Ghostwire: Tokyo, you’ll get another side quest, The Boss Tanuki, at Kirigaoka Shrine, rewarding you with the Tanuki outfit.
If you’re trying to get the trophies or achievements for all of the outfits in Ghostwire: Tokyo or completing all of the side quests, you’ll have to find all of these locations, as well. This guide shows you where to find them based on the order in which you cleanse the game’s shrines.

Green Necklace Tanuki
Gives the Karate Punches emote.
The Green Necklace Tanuki can be found 99 meters southwest of Hitani Shrine, across the highway from Elliptical Leaf. Cross over the bridge from Elliptical, and take the first left on the other side (by the white moving truck and Dodai Muri Furniture shop). Go down the road about 30 meters, then take the first right (there will be a grey scooter on the corner).
Continue down for 25 meters, then take the first left, just before a park. Go down about 15 meters to a yield sign on the left, and turn left to find a small rest area with a bench and vending machines. Green Necklace is impersonating a cup of noodles past the bench on the left.
Namihara
Grey Scarf Tanuki

Pink Purse can be found 83 meters southwest of Toyoi Shrine. It is impersonating a vending machine in a Kawasemi parking lot (not the one closest to the Tottoko Cinema in the same area). This parking lot is a bit further southwest from that, near the very edge of the map.
Hatsuike
Blue Purse Tanuki
Gives the Sumo Stance emote.

Red Maple Tanuki can be found just 33 meters north of Saihama Shrine. Go to the edge of the roof on which the Shrine sits, and look down to the north. You’ll see a Tanuki statue peeking out from behind a beige, stucco apartment building. This one is right next to a Jizo Statue, too.
Tatsui
Polka Dot Furoshiki Tanuki
Gives the Sit 1 emote.
Polka Dot Furoshiki Tanuki can be found 91 meters southwest of the Tatsui Shrine on the southwest side of a parking lot underneath the overpass.

Onten
Green Purse Tanuki
Gives Cuteness Overload emote.
Green Purse Tanuki is in a cardboard box on a bench 37 meters north (across the street from) the Onten Shrine. The bench is near a payphone in a small area tucked behind a building with an orange Dodai Muri Furniture sign above the door. The same building has a QTE Mart on one corner and a furniture store on the other. There is an orange truck parked out front and a white compact car with its flashers on.
Mikubo
Red Necklace Tanuki
Gives the Ground Sit 1 emote.
Red Necklace Tanuki can be found 44 meters south of the Mikubo Shrine impersonating a Tanuki statue on top of a beige building. Face the Mikubo Shrine, and turn around.

Triangular Leaf Tanuki
Gives the Aquatic Kunai? emote.
Triangular Leaf Tanuki can be found 91 meters west of the Shimokusa Shrine and 64 meters south of the Sakano Shrine. It is masquerading as a gravestone on the southern end of a cemetery.

Kamio Tanuki
Pink Furoshiki Tanuki
Gives the Sit 2 emote.
Pink Furoshiki Tanuki can be found 136 meters southwest of Kamio Shrine in another (inactive) shrine area just 25 meters north of Ginpei Crossing. It is off of a main road, across from a Freshmoth Burger restaurant and the Netsuke Collector Nekomata. The small Pagoda for the shrine area stands in contrast to the apartment buildings around it.
