From there start circling, to the right, around the mountaintop. There will be another rock below you. The Shrine is located on the northeastern slope of the mountain.
Kiuyoyou Shrine

Musanokir Shrine
The Musanokir Shrine is located in the heart of the Great Hyrule Forest in Zelda: TotK. To get to the Shrine, you can start from the Military Training Camp and approach it by using the road.
The road doesn’t go all the way through and you will need to navigate the jungle which is filled with enemies and you can get lost easily.
The best and easiest way is by using a chasm to move down and then make your way to the shrine. The nearest chasm from the Korok Woods is in the Minshi Woods. You can approach them from the Military Training Camp.
On the road, the chasm will be to your right. Before jumping into the Chasm, you will need some Brightbloom Seeds to illuminate the depth. When you jump in, use your glider to avoid the walls as well as the cushion you’re landing.
In the depths, you will need to move to the center of the island, south of the Rikonasum lightroot. From the Surface, this route is difficult because of the woods and the fog but here, the tree density is moderate and you only need to look out for the red growths which can deal damage.
When you land the will be a path with drops on either side, if you can’t see the path use your bow to shoot the Brightbloom Seed.
After the path, there will be some trees with some growth in front. Climb onto the tree nearest to the growth and glide to the clearing after the growth.
After the plain, you will find some trees to your left. To the left of the trees, there will be a clearing. This path will also have no red growth.
Move on straight until you reach a steep climb and a shrine on top. This is the shrine you will need to move to. There will be some rocks you can climb onto and reach the Shrine. Also, examine the Rikonasum lightroot to illuminate the area around the shrine.
In the shrine, stand in the middle. Use Ascend ability to move to the surface. On the surface, you will find the Deku Tree. Next to the Deku Tree is the Musanokir Shrine.
Ninjis Shrine
The Ninjis Shrine is located to the south of the Korok forest in Zelda: TotK. The direct route to reach the Ninjis shrine is not available and it is heavily blocked by the dark forest. You can only reach the Shrine easily by gliding towards it.
To glide, you can choose the two nearby Skyview towers. These are far from the previous starting points but it is quite easy to get to the shrine. If you are in the Thyphlo Ruins which is to the north of the Great Hyrule forest, the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower can be used.
Using the skyview tower, move up the sky and glide south. Use Tulin for a boost if needed. If you don’t have Tulin, it’s not a big deal because the journey is not that long.
When you are near Bravery Island, look down and pin the location of the Shrine. Now descend. As you leave the Sky Region, a thick fog will engulf you and your vision will be affected.
Use your map to navigate as you descend and fall slowly toward the Ninjis Shrine.

Starting from the Great Fairy Tera in the Military Training Camp, take the road which leads away from the camp. At the intersection, take the right and head into the Minshi Woods. To your left, there will be a chasm. Jump down the chasm and take the path you see in front. This path has poes on it which you can collect and exchange with valuable items on the surface.
After the path, there will be a group of different trees and a Gloom in front of them. to your right, there will be a small patch that you can cross easily. On the plains after the gloom, move northeast.

To the north of the lightroot, there is a forest behind it, the gloom is least wide and you can hop over to cross it.
Next, turn left and move along the gloom boundary and pass the hill. There will be a platform to the right. You can use this platform to move to the Surface. In the platform, pick the ascend ability and move up.
On the surface, the shrine will be southeast of your position. move towards the Deku Tree to the south and from there, you can follow the Edamame pods to find the crystal and the Pupunke shrine is to the first left in the dark forest.
Sakunbomar Shrine
