Travel with Lord Kitamori
The subsequent cutscene ends with Oni Raiders ambushing the area. Defeat them with the help of Lord Kitamori. Then, hop onto your horse and follow Kitamori. After a bit, you will arrive at an area with several dead horses.
Get down and examine one of the horses to find clues about the situation.
From there, continue on the road with footprints on the ground. Just ahead, select the Examine prompt and follow the prints going uphill.
At the end of the path, climb up using the ledges and continue forward on the mountain trail. Go to the edge to start a cutscene.
Eliminate the Oni Raiders
Slide down the mountain slope and defeat all of the Oni Raiders with Lord Kitamori. Make sure to take out the archers first. Then, you can break the enemy shields with the Kusarigama's heavy attack to make the fight easier.
When the fight is over and Lord Kitamori says the victims need to be buried, select any of these prompts:
- You're not to blame.
- I can help.
You can choose any, as the overall story progression will still be the same.

Look for the horses
After waking up from sleep, exit the campsite to find Jubei. Follow him, and during the conversation, you can select any of the prompts. When you find the horses, continue following Jubei for a while to reach the objective location.
Eliminate the Oni Raider Ambusher
As the cutscene ends, you are immediately up against the Oni Raider Ambusher in a battle. This battle is a bit tricky, as getting hit by the opponent's slash strike can cause a burn effect on Atsu. So, it's important to dodge and parry the Ambusher's attacks.
Whenever he closes the distance, make sure to block or parry his attacks with blue glints. Also, whenever the enemy's weapon animation highlights yellow glints, immediately do the charged attack to avoid the grab technique.
After the Oni Raider Ambusher's bar is at 5 percent, he pulls out his Katana. Utilize your Katana as well to end the battle efficiently.
Next, defeat the remaining Oni Raider alongside Jubei. Then, follow him to the large gate and open it. Keep following Jubei to the Matsumae Encampment. You can then choose any of the dialogue options to continue, as it won't affect the outcome.

After that, go close to the edge and use your Spyglass to survey these locations of Ishikari Plain:
- Ishikari market
- Ishikari castle
- An island where a Yari master is hiding. You can access The Way of the Yari quest there for the Yari spear.
With this, The Road to Ishikari Plain quest in Ghost of Yotei comes to an end. You can then travel to the Ishikari market to access the A Mad Pursuit quest to continue the hunt for The Oni.
