Shenmue III Guide: Where To Find Every Chobu Chan In Niaowu (With Pictures)
Niaowu Harbor (Shops)
Behind the row of market stalls, Niaowu Harbor has an ornate littoral stretching from Super Tackle in the east all the way to Wu Shen Hall in the west. **UPDATED** The Game arcade and prize exchange do harbour a Chobu apiece, but a thorough search of the Ferry Waiting Room has unearthed diddly squat.
Super Tackle
A fishy temptation hanging up with the bright green lures on the right hand side of the store's central island.
Shen's Fish
Defrosting in a small wicker basket of ice at the back of the shop in a cabinet facing the back wall.
Millions Served
A fine China Chobu is between the four red teapots on the right hand side of the shop. This is the first Shop Card in the Niaowu Souvenir Set.
Nihao Flowers
Very well hidden in the golden house plant directly opposite the counter. This can be a right pain to register, as you need to be angled just so. It's the first Shop Card in the Niaowu Gardens Set.
Fresh Fruit
Chobu's hanging out with what appear to be lemons, in a tray directly facing the waterfront.
I Love Fresh Oyster
He's on a tray of condiments opposite the second stool from the back. Might be a bit salty.
SWEETs Shop
Baked into a chocolate muffin in the middle of the glass counter. Yum.
Hotel Niaowu
Yes: there's a Chobu in the luxurious Hotel Niaowu. He's in the dragon's claw at the reception desk, next to the guestbook.
HIGH-TECH LAND Arcade
Chobu loves hammering all things talpidae in nature - which is to say it's hidden behind a potted plant, on top of the right-most Wacky Mole coin-op to the left of the entrance.
HIGH-TECH LAND Prize Exchange
Yup: there are Chobus in amongst all the absolute tat in Nioawu's prize exchanges too. This one is poking its little bonce out of a purple vase on top of the table facing out onto the harbour.
Wu Shen Hall
Is the 'fun kung-fu' school technically a shop? No, but that doesn't bother Chobu Chan; he's surfing majestically on the cape of the statue just to the right of the entrance.
