Landmarks are the named sites that give Silent Hill f's version of Ebisugaoka its shape — houses, shrines, stores, and structures that serve as story waypoints, puzzle hubs, and atmospheric anchors across all three required playthroughs.
Every Landmark across Ebisugaoka, Shrine Path, and Corridors is tracked on the Silent Hill f interactive maps, with lore notes and functional connections documented per entry.
Landmarks are significant fixed locations — not collectible items but named places that Hinako visits, passes through, or interacts with during the story.
Several hold Key Items, host Puzzle sequences, or contain Documents that expand the lore of Ebisugaoka's families and Inari faith. Visiting all Landmarks contributes to the completion rating tracked across all three playthroughs.
Mandatory Landmarks are encountered automatically through story progression — Hinako Shimizu's House as the opening location, the Chizuruya General Store at the centre of town, Sakuko's House north of the store, Rinko's House north of the rice fields, Shu's House at the end of the forest path during the fourth visit to Ebisugaoka, and the Sacred Door in the Corridors as the area's first objective. These are visited regardless of how thoroughly the player explores.
Optional Landmarks sit just off the main path — the Covered Well in a secluded clearing, the Doctor's House on the road outside the rice fields (accessed via a ladder in the back), Sakuko's Old Shrine in a hilltop clearing, the Sennensugi Shrine at the end of a forest path, and the Oinari-sama Shrine in a small clearing reached by following a narrow side path.
These optional sites frequently hold consumables, Documents, and atmospheric details that contribute to Ebisugaoka's characterisation but require deliberate detours to find.
The Divine Tree — the ancient cedar at the heart of the NG+ Sacred Sword puzzle, found in the clearing on top of the stairs — doubles as a trophy trigger.
Approaching the tree closely in any playthrough unlocks the O Divine Tree achievement. In NG+, the Divine Tree is also the site where the Sacred Sword appears after completing all five Jizo Statue offerings — documented in the Jizo Statue guide.
The Divine Tree's Ebisugaoka map coordinate is cross-linked from both the Landmark entry and the Jizo guide.
The Oinari-sama Shrine entry in the guide carries lore that contextualises much of Silent Hill f's religious visual language.
Inari is a kitsune — a supernatural Japanese fox — venerated as a kami. Kitsunes are born without tails and gain one additional tail for every hundred years of life: a nine-tailed kitsune has lived for a thousand years and represents the height of kitsune power.
The O- prefix and -sama suffix attached to Inari's name in the shrine's title both denote reverence and respect — a naming convention that recurs throughout Ebisugaoka's shrines and architecture.
This lore context makes the game's fox imagery, fox statues, Fox Mask character, and the Inari faith system — which underpins the Hokora shrine offering economy — significantly more legible.
Ebisugaoka holds 14 of the 17 Landmarks — Hinako's House, Covered Well, Chizuruya General Store, Sakuko's Old Shrine, Shu's House, Doctor's House, Sennensugi Shrine, Sakuko's House, Rinko's House, Sacred Door, Oinari-sama Shrine Ebisugaoka Middle School, and the Divine Tree.
Shrine Path holds three: the Shrine Vault (eastern side), and the Western, Southern, and Northern Ema Walls, all required for the Shrine Vault Puzzle.
Corridors holds one — the Sacred Door on the large terrace, the area's opening objective. All 17 are in the interactive guide below.

| Oinari-sama ShrineEbisugaokaOinari-sama Shrine | Ebisugaoka | Found in a small clearing at the end of the path. Inari is a kitsune Japanese kami. According to folklore, kitsunes are foxes with multiple tails (think Vulpix and Ninetales from Pokémon). They are not born with tails, but rather acquire each one after having lived for 100 years. Thus, a kitsune with nine tails has lived for 1,000 years. The more tails a kitsune has, the more powerful it is. Both the O- prefix and the -sama suffix attached to Inari's name here denote respect and reverence. Location Revised By: MessianicMermaid |
