To-Ishikari-Plain.png

Continue heading north following the Sarubetsu River upstream, eventually you will end up in the Golden Foothills. This is the first time you will encounter Lord Kitomori, later revealed to be Jubei. After a short side quest, you will reach Ishikari Plain after leaving the Matsumae encampment.

Alternatively, if you seek out the rumors of a yari master in Ishikari Plain, you will end up there all the same.
