Imai Sokyu Location

To find Imai Sokyu, remember these clues: he's in western Settsu, specifically southwestern Sakai. If you have scouts, deploy them to the southwestern area of Sakai (simply press the square button on the map). Otherwise, head to Sakai's Money Changer District. Use L2 to scan; a blue dot will reveal Imai Sokyu's location. Follow him for a short sequence culminating in a conversation at a teahouse, providing crucial information for your next objective.
