This guide details all raccoon locations in Hidden Raccoons in Asia, helping you find every one of the 25 hidden collectibles. The game scatters five of these mischievous spirits, the Tanuki-no-ko, across each of its five main scenes. Locating all of them is the only way to unlock the game's true "Spirit Blossom" ending and earn the coveted "Master Collector" achievement.
Finding every raccoon fills up the Raccoon Shrine accessible from the main menu, with each completed region lighting a ceremonial stone lantern. This guide provides a direct, step-by-step walkthrough for each location, ensuring no stone is left unturned in your search.
What's the Reward for Finding All the Raccoons?
Beyond the simple satisfaction of 100% completion, finding all 25 raccoons has a tangible impact on the game's conclusion. The primary reward is unlocking the "Spirit Blossom" ending. Instead of the standard credits roll, you are treated to a beautiful, extended cutscene where all 25 Tanuki-no-ko gather in a moonlit clearing, performing a dance that causes a giant, spectral cherry tree to bloom. It's a serene and heartwarming finale that re-contextualizes the entire journey.
Additionally, you'll unlock the final two achievements:
- Raccoon Wrangler: Find all raccoons in a single scene.
- Master Collector: Find all 25 raccoons in the game.
Completing the collection also adds a small, permanent cosmetic change to the game's start screen, where a friendly raccoon will now be seen sleeping on the main title logo.
Tokyo Twilight Market (5 Raccoons)
The dense, interactive chaos of the Tokyo Twilight Market hides the first five raccoons. The key here is to manipulate food stalls, arcade machines, and the crowds to reveal their hiding spots.

Raccoon #1: The Noodle Ninja
This raccoon is hidden inside the ramen stall on the far left of the scene. To find it, you must first click on the chef three times, causing him to slurp his noodles. Then, click on the large stack of bowls behind him. They will tumble over, revealing the Noodle Ninja raccoon peeking out from behind the pile.
Raccoon #2: The Gachapon Prize
Look for the bank of colorful Gachapon (capsule-toy) machines. You'll need to find a coin first. The coin is sitting on top of a red paper lantern just above the machines. Drag the coin into the slot of the middle blue machine. Turn the crank three times, and a special golden capsule will pop out. Click the capsule to open it and release the raccoon.
Raccoon #3: The Lantern Keeper
Above the market stalls hangs a long string of paper lanterns. Most are lit, but one near the center is dark. Click on the unlit lantern to turn it on. This will attract a moth. Click the moth, which will then fly over and land on a string of prayer flags, weighing it down and revealing a raccoon that was clinging to the back of it.
Raccoon #4: The Arcade Champion
Find the small, retro arcade cabinet. You need to "win" the game. The screen shows a simple shooter. Click the screen to fire, and drag the ship to dodge projectiles. After about 10 seconds of dodging, the screen will flash "WINNER!" and the prize slot will open, dispensing the Arcade Champion raccoon.
Raccoon #5: The Vending Machine Snack
On the right side of the scene is a brightly lit vending machine. Press the buttons in the correct sequence to dispense the raccoon. The code is hinted at by the price of the items: press the buttons for the three cheapest drinks in order from lowest price to highest (¥110, ¥130, ¥150). The delivery chute will then open, and the raccoon will pop its head out.
Bamboo Grove of Anji (5 Raccoons)
The serene Bamboo Grove of Anji requires a gentler touch. Solutions here involve interacting with nature—water, light, and plants—to coax the raccoons out.
Raccoon #6: The Stone Pagoda Sentinel
In the middle of the grove is a three-tiered stone pagoda. The raccoon is hiding inside, but the door is shut. To open it, you must ring the three small bells hanging from the pagoda's eaves. Ring them in the order: low, high, middle. The door will slide open, revealing the raccoon meditating inside.
Raccoon #7: The Whispering Bamboo
One particular stalk of bamboo is thicker than the others and has faint carvings on it. Click and hold on this stalk, then drag your mouse downwards. This will bend the bamboo over, shaking the raccoon loose from where it was hiding among the top leaves.
Raccoon #8: The Koi Pond Master
Find the small koi pond. A frog sits on a lily pad. Click the frog to make it croak, which disturbs a dragonfly. The dragonfly will buzz around and land on a reed, which bends under its weight and dips into the water. This creates a ripple that travels across the pond and nudges a floating lotus flower, revealing a raccoon that was sleeping underneath.
Raccoon #9: The Forgotten Tea Set
A small, abandoned tea set sits on a flat rock. You must pour the tea. Click the teapot to pick it up, and drag the spout over the empty cup. As the cup fills, steam will rise. A raccoon, shaped like a steam spirit, will materialize in the vapor for a few seconds. Click it before it fades.
Raccoon #10: The Sunbeam Bather
Wait for a sunbeam to pierce through the dense bamboo canopy. This happens every 30 seconds or so. When it does, it will illuminate a small patch of moss on the ground. A mushroom will quickly sprout in the light. Click the mushroom three times to make it grow larger, and a raccoon will pop out from under its cap.
Ha Long Bay Junk Boat (5 Raccoons)
This level is contained entirely on a single junk boat, with the iconic limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay in the background. The puzzles are mostly mechanical, involving parts of the boat itself.

Raccoon #11: The Captain's Hat
On the top deck, the captain's hat is resting on the ship's wheel. Click the hat to lift it up; the raccoon is hiding directly underneath. This is one of the easiest raccoons in the game.
Raccoon #12: The Dragon's Head
The prow of the boat is carved into an ornate dragon's head. Its mouth is closed. To open it, you must raise the main sail. Find the rope cleat at the base of the mast and click it to untie the rope. The sail will unfurl, and a connected pulley system will crank the dragon's jaw open, showing the raccoon sitting on its tongue.
Raccoon #13: The Fisherman's Basket
On the side of the boat, a series of woven baskets are stacked. Click on the top basket to remove it, then the next, and so on. The raccoon is hiding in the very bottom basket of the stack.
Raccoon #14: The Pearl Diver
This is a tricky one. Look over the side of the boat and you'll see bubbles rising from the water. Click the spot where the bubbles are surfacing. A clam will float up. You have to click the clam at the exact moment it opens to grab the pearl inside. Once you have the pearl, drag it to the cormorant sitting on the railing. The bird will take the pearl and drop a raccoon in its place as a thank-you.
Raccoon #15: The Galley Stowaway
Enter the small cabin. Inside, you'll see a sack of rice with a hole in it. A trail of rice grains leads from the sack to a closed cabinet. Click the cabinet door to open it, and you'll find the raccoon happily munching away on the stolen rice.
Jaipur Palace Courtyard (5 Raccoons)
This vibrant, sun-drenched level is full of intricate patterns and hidden mechanisms within the palace architecture.
Raccoon #16: The Maharaja's Turban
In the center of the courtyard is a statue of a Maharaja. His turban is adorned with a large, unset jewel socket. You must find the jewel. It's hidden in the beak of a decorative marble peacock on the far right wall. Click the peacock to get the jewel, then drag it to the turban. Once the jewel is in place, a secret compartment in the statue's base opens, revealing the raccoon.
Raccoon #17: The Fountain Dweller
The central fountain is not running. Find the four decorative spouts shaped like elephant heads around its base. You must turn them all so they face inwards. Click each one to rotate it. Once all four are aimed at the center, the fountain will turn on, and the raccoon will ride the jet of water into the air.
Raccoon #18: The Mosaic Tile
Look closely at the intricate mosaic tilework on the main wall. One tile is a slightly different color from the rest. Click on this mismatched tile. It's a hidden button. Pressing it causes a nearby section of the wall to rotate, revealing a small alcove with the raccoon inside.
Raccoon #19: The Spice Merchant's Guard
A merchant is sitting with several large bags of spices. Click on the bag of bright red chili powder. A cloud of spice will puff out, causing the merchant to sneeze. The force of the sneeze will blow his own turban off, revealing a raccoon that was hiding in it.
Raccoon #20: The Sitar Player's Muse
Find the musician playing a sitar. He is playing a simple, repeating melody. Next to him are three decorative bells. You must replicate his tune by clicking the bells in the correct order. The tune is middle, middle, high, low. After you play it correctly, the musician will nod in approval, and a raccoon will peek out from inside the sound hole of his sitar.
Seoul Skyscraper Rooftop (5 Raccoons)
The final level is a high-tech rooftop garden, blending nature with futuristic technology. The puzzles here often involve electronics and machinery.
Raccoon #21: The Drone Rider
A small delivery drone is resting on a charging pad. Click the drone to turn it on. It will take off and fly a short circuit around the rooftop before returning to its pad. The raccoon is clinging to the underside of the drone; you must click the raccoon while the drone is in mid-flight.
Raccoon #22: The Hydroponic Herb
Examine the wall of hydroponic plants. One of the data screens shows that a specific plant is receiving "low water." Find the corresponding plant pod (it will be slightly wilted). Click on the manual irrigation valve next to it to give it water. The plant will spring back to life, and its large leaves will part to reveal a hidden raccoon.
Raccoon #23: The Telescope Observer
There is a large, high-powered telescope pointed at the sky. Click the eyepiece to look through it. You'll see a view of the moon. A raccoon will slowly float by in a tiny astronaut suit. Click it to collect it. If you miss, just look away from the telescope and look back in to try again.
Raccoon #24: The K-Pop Fan
A large digital billboard cycles through advertisements. Wait for the ad featuring the in-game K-Pop band "Bit-N-Byte." During their ad, a heart symbol will appear on the screen. Click the heart. This will cause the billboard to display a giant raccoon face, and the collectible raccoon will pop out from behind the screen itself.
Raccoon #25: The Server Room Guardian
This is the final and most well-hidden raccoon. It requires a few steps to find.
- First, locate a solar panel that is covered in shade. Click the nearby sun-tracking dish to rotate it, reflecting light onto the shaded panel.
- This powers up a keypad on a locked server room door. The code is hinted at by the number of wind turbines on the rooftop. There are four.
- The code is the founding year of the game's developer, "Cozy Cat Studios," which is shown on a small plaque near the door: 2018. The final code is the number of turbines followed by the year: 42018.
- Enter the code. The door will slide open, revealing a server rack. The final raccoon is sitting on top of the main server, wearing a tiny pair of glasses.
