The Nishinomiya Shrine in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a great place to explore and earn some Knowledge Points and XP while doing it.

The numerous Shrines in Assassin’s Creed Shadows are optional objectives that you can do easily to gain some useful rewards. To be more specific, in Shadows, players will have the opportunity to find and visit various locations with Shrine complexes in them. Additionally, gamers seek out and pray at the shrines in these areas to progress through the new mastery system a little faster.
There are a lot of places with many shrines in AC Shadows; however, in this article, we will only talk about Nishinomiya Shrine and how you can reach all of the praying spots in it.
All Nishinomiya Shrine Locations in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

As we discussed, Ubisoft has placed a lot of different shrine complexes on the map of Shadows. But not all of them have the same number of shrines in them. Nishinomiya Shrine in Assassin’s Creed Shadows has three different praying spots. You can find the place itself in Nakayama Peak, west of Izumi Settsu.
Furthermore, you can also locate it by opening the map and looking at the western part of Amagasaki Castle, and the northwest of Nishinomiya Shine Town. Now, we will take a more in-depth look at all three praying spots in Nishinomiya Shrine.
Nishinomiya Shrine Location One

Once you are in the Nishinomoya Shrine complex, you will find the first Shrine on the right side of the gate. This one is the easiest to spot since it is right in front of the main temple, which is also the largest building in the entire area. After finding the shrine, simply walk up the stairs of said temple and start the praying animation. When it is finished, the first objective will be complete.
Nishinomiya Shrine Location Two

After you are done with the first shrine, you won’t have to move around too much because the second spot will be quite close to your location. To find the second Shrine in Nishinomiya, simply turn around and go towards the south. Shortly after, you will come across a red bridge. Use it to get to the small patch of land in the middle of the lake. There, you will find the second shrine and must repeat the same praying action as last time.
Nishinomiya Shrine Location Three

The third location will also be nearby to the second shrine. To reach it, you must take the path going towards the southwest. Once you have reached the back of the small island, you will notice some stones in the water. Use them to cross the lake, and you will find the last shrine on the other side. Then, simply start praying and wait for the animation to end.
Rewards for Completing Nishinomiya Shrine in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Similar to the other Shrine locations in the game, once you finish praying at all the different spots in Nishinomiya Shrine, you will get a single Knowledge Point and 500 XP.
