The first building you need to place inside your hideout in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the Kakurega, which is also one of the most important buildings in the entire game. Here is where you should build the Kakurega to make the most of its usefulness.

Best place to build the Kakurega
The absolute best place to build the Kakurega is attaching it directly to your main building, as highlighted in the screenshot above. You’ll need to rotate it around a bit to get it to line up right where it fits in a position it can snap onto your main building. Another solid option is to place it right outside the front door of your main building as well.
You want the Kakurega placed in a location you can quickly and easily get to, as you’ll be visiting this building a ton throughout Assassin’s Creed Shadows. As you clear out regions throughout Japan, you’ll unlock the ability to purchase, claim, and build safehouses throughout Japan, which are called Kakurega’s. This will provide various benefits to that region as well as give you access to fast travel points throughout Japan.
You can also access regional contract boards to do various contracts in regions as you establish Kakurega’s in them. Another benefit is that you can refill your tools, replenish scouts—invaluable for progressing through the story—and manage allies you want to bring with you on various missions.
As you upgrade your Kakurega, you’ll access more benefits and rewards, making it the most important building.
Here are the materials required to build the Kakurega:
- 60 Wheat
- 30 Wood
- 5 Stone
Thankfully, you will gain all these materials in the brief quest right before you unlock the option to place the Kakurega, which, once again, should be built as close as possible to your main building.
