How to Find the Cat Island in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Your journey to find the cat island will lead you to the region of Omi, typically around the midpoint of the game's story. Ensure your characters are well-prepared and ready for new challenges before heading northeast toward Omi.
Your destination is Lake Biwa, a significant body of water in the heart of the region. To reach the cat island, it's advisable to acquire a boat from nearby settlements like Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, you can swim across the lake if you prefer a more adventurous approach.

Your target is the larger island in the middle of Lake Biwa, located northwest of Azuchi. Navigate to this island, and you'll discover Okishima, complete with a Kakurega where you can rest. The presence of fish being dried near the docks suggests an abundance of food, perfect for attracting a certain type of animal.
To immerse yourself in the charm of the cat island, head north towards the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll encounter an increasing number of cats. Don't miss the opportunity to pet them, as doing so will add these adorable creatures to your collection, which you can then enjoy at your Hideout. Keep an eye out for rare kittens, which are particularly elusive and valuable.

While Leaps of Faith typically unlock new map locations, the true treasure of Okishima lies in its feline inhabitants. After taking in the sights and safely landing in the haystack, there's little else to do except revisit your new cat friends. Additionally, you'll return to Okishima later in Yasuke's story, providing another reason to anticipate your next visit.
