First, you must travel southeast, towards the castle. On the way, a civilian will offer help to find Naoe on Awaji Island. Do not take help from her, as following her will lead you into a trap, where some enemies will attack you.

After refusing the civilian's help, continue towards the town's southeast and look for the twisted tree. From there, follow the southeast pathway towards the castle. During this time, Yasuke will say some voicelines indicating you're on the right track.
