Shenmue III Guide: Where To Find Every Chobu Chan In Niaowu (With Pictures)

Promenade (South)

The Promenade is the main commercial street running right through the centre of Niaowu, stretching all the way from the harbour to Blossom Road. There are dozens of stores, so we've arbitrarily split it up where the road forks at Vendor Avenue.

Take a moment to check out the brilliant book titles (In Search of Seafaring Soldiers!) before finding Chobu peeking out of a box at the back left of the shop, behind the left most bookcase. This is the first Shop Card in the Niaowu Map Set.

Trapped and desperately seeking attention, glowing out of a lantern on the top left shelf at the back right of the shop.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
