What to know
- Ishikari Plain contains two fox dens (Fire Fox Den and Twin Path Fox Den).
- Approach the small glowing fox and follow it — it will guide you to the nearby Inari Shrine.
- Dens can be blocked by environmental hazards or require traversal tools (e.g., grappling).
- Each den grants a unique charm reward when you complete the shrine.
Ishikari Plain’s fox dens are short, exploration-focused encounters: find a little fox under a red-glowing tree, follow it through a small sequence of waypoints or obstacles, then pray at the Inari Shrine it leads you to. They’re optional, non-missable, and useful if you’re hunting charms or the Guardian of Inari trophy.

Locating Fire Fox Den
The Ishikari Plain Fox Dens are found in the heart of Yotei’s open grasslands, each tucked away near key landmarks. The Fire Fox Den lies east of Ishikari Fork, easily recognized by its red-glowing tree and patches of scorched earth. The entrance is sometimes blocked by flames or debris, so you’ll need to find a side route or use a grappling point to reach the den safely.
How to reach the Fire Fox Den and complete it
Here's how you can complete the Fire fox den step-by-step:
Step 1 - Reach the location
Fast-travel to Ishikari Fork (or approach the Fork region on foot). Look for the red-glowing tree/embers on the map — that marks the fox den area.
Step 2 - Follow the fox
Move toward the glow and find the small fox. When you get close it will bolt — follow it. The fox will run a short route and stop near the entrance.
Step 3 - Clear the blockade
If the den entrance is blocked by flames or collapsed debris, use your traversal tools (grapple/swings or the nearby path) to clear a route into the den. The Fire Fox Den is noted for a fire-blocking hazard.
Step 4 - Interact with shrine
Inside, follow the fox through any small obstacles until you reach the Inari Shrine. Approach and pray (swipe down on the touchpad / the in-game interact for praying) to complete the shrine and collect the charm reward.
