Overview

Azamo Bay is a fortified coastal settlement in southern Izuhara. At the beginning of Ghost of Tsushima, it is an occupied Mongol territory rather than a functioning town. The settlement becomes one of Jin Sakai’s most useful early hubs after the Tale Unfinished Business, which turns Azamo Bay from a hostile prison camp into a liberated village with several vendors, a Bamboo Strike, an Inari Shrine and follow-up story content.

The name can be slightly confusing because Azamo is also the wider prefecture or locality surrounding the bay. The settlement itself is only one part of that larger area. The nearby Ariake Bamboo Strike, Houren’s Pasture, Kii’s Pond, the logging base and Wakou Island should not be folded into Azamo Bay proper simply because they are close by or appear during related quests.

Azamo Bay has particular importance in Act 1. It is connected to Taka’s enslavement, the escape from the Mongol camp, the liberation of local villagers and the early stages of The Legend of Tadayori. Once freed, it is also a convenient resupply point for players travelling along the southern coast of Izuhara.
