To enhance your exploration in Sakai, activate Observation mode using the left trigger or L2. This will display blue and yellow markers throughout the area. It is highly recommended to collect all yellow markers, as they provide valuable resources for your hideout. The blue markers indicate quest-related targets, which will direct you to Imai Sokyu when you are in proximity.

Imai Sokyu’s house is situated conveniently along the roadside. Use the reference image as a guide to locate it easily. Once there, feel free to enter the premises where you will encounter Imai Sokun, the son of Imai Sokyu.

After a cutscene with Imai Sokun, the quest will update; however, you must still pursue additional objectives before officially concluding the mission. Follow Imai Sokun closely as you listen to the dialogue. The game provides an auto-follow feature that allows you to enjoy the storyline without having to navigate actively.

Following an extensive conversation, the “Searching Sakai”mission will conclude, paving the way for you to proceed to subsequent objectives in the game.
