Assassin's Creed Shadows: All 8 Jizo Statues in Izumi Settsu, Mapped

The Jizo Statues in Assassin's Creed Shadows are a bit like shy neighbors: they do not appear on the map until the player has already walked or ridden past them. That means a collector can gallop through Izumi Settsu, miss a stone figure by a whisker, and only later see its icon pop up like a polite apology. Each statue grants a small slice of XP, and for anyone chasing 100% completion in 2026, they remain a quick, low-stress collectible. The game leans harder into natural exploration than earlier entries, so there is no loyal eagle to scout the horizon. Instead, Naoe's Eagle Sense and the shared Observation skill do the heavy lifting. The statues do not fight back, but finding them can still make a samurai feel silly.

There are eight Jizo Statues in Izumi Settsu, the first region players explore. Most are easy to reach, even if a few are easy to overlook. Naoe is the recommended protagonist for the job: she climbs faster, moves quicker, and can detour to Synchronization Points without making a drama out of it. That matters later, when fast travel becomes a collector's best friend. The enemies in this early area are manageable, so the real challenge is spotting the statues before riding past. Go figure.

Quick Map: All 8 Jizo Statues in Izumi Settsu

The Eight Statues, One by One

1. Kawachi Heights Jizo Statue 🗿

This one sits in the southeast section of Izumi Settsu, roughly between the Kawachi Heights Pagoda Synchronization Point and the Makinoodera Lookout Synchronization Point. Of the two, the Pagoda feels a little easier to approach. The statue is not hidden behind a boss or a fortress, but it does enjoy playing hard to get. Players who hug the roads and keep Eagle Sense active should spot it before their horse starts complaining.

2. Katano Foothills Jizo Statue 🏯

This is likely the first Jizo Statue a player will meet, because it sits directly outside the Hideout, or at least very close to it. There are a few small enemy camps around, so it is worth clearing them or sneaking past. The Hideout is the closest fast-travel point, which makes this an ideal warm-up collectible. It practically waves at new arrivals. Well, bless its stone heart.

3. Yawata Plains Jizo Statue 🌾

Located in the northeast of Izumi Settsu, this statue has a couple of nearby landmarks. The best approach is the Lost Hills Summit Synchronization Point, since the road that leads to the Jizo Statue connects there. Once this one is collected, the eastern side of Izumi Settsu is officially tidy. Completionists can breathe a small, satisfied breath.

4. Sakai Jizo Statue 🌊

This statue sits about as far north in Sakai as one can go before entering Osaka. The closest fast-travel point is likely either the nearby Kakurega in Osaka or Sakai, or the Nanbansen Synchronization Point, depending on whether the player prefers to swim. That choice is less heroic and more about convenience. Either way, the statue is not far from the water and should be easy to grab.

5. Osaka Jizo Statue 🐕

This one is just east of Osaka proper, past the construction site. The Osaka Kakurega is the safer fast-travel choice, because the other Synchronization Point sits in enemy territory. It is also very close to the pre-order bonus quest for the dog, so players can pet a virtual pup and collect XP in the same trip. A rare two-for-one deal.

6. Katano Jizo Statue 🏇

This is the last statue before the player has to cross the river. The Katano Kakurega is the closest and most accessible fast-travel spot, but if it has not been unlocked, the Katano Castle Synchronization Point works as a backup. It is also not far from Osaka, so horseback travel is perfectly reasonable. The horse may not appreciate the extra errand, but it will cope.

7. Amagasaki Jizo Statue ⛩️

The main quest sends players to Nunobiki Falls early during their time in Izumi Settsu. There is a Synchronization Point at Nakayama Watchtower, or the statue can be reached from Amagasaki. It sits right at the crossroads between the falls and the town, so it should be easy to spot once the player knows it exists. The hard part is noticing it before the map icon appears.

8. Muggy Lands Jizo Statue 🌫️

This is the one that confuses people. It does not seem like this part of the map belongs to Izumi Settsu at first, and it is hard to spot. Players also have to pass through Toneyama Post Town or take the long way around, which is inconvenient at best. However, this road eventually leads to the Church of Takatsuki, which is needed to recruit Yaya. Use the Muggy Lands Kakurega to reach the final Jizo Statue in Izumi Settsu. After that, the region can rest easy.

Final Tips for Jizo Hunters

• Play as Naoe. Her speed and climbing make the hunt less of a chore. 🥷

• Unlock Kakurega and Synchronization Points whenever possible. Future collectible runs will thank the player.

• Use Eagle Sense and Observation constantly. The statues are not invisible, just rude about announcing themselves. 👀

• If a Jizo Statue icon is missing, walk or ride past its location. The map will add it after the fact.

• Do not skip the Osaka statue if the dog quest is still available. Two birds, one stone, and one very good boy. 🐶

In 2026, these eight statues remain one of the gentler completion tasks in Assassin's Creed Shadows. They offer modest XP, a reason to explore Izumi Settsu, and a pleasant excuse to ignore the main story for a while. The Jizo statues may not RSVP to the map, but once found, they are perfectly well-behaved. No biggie.
