So if youre looking for those hidden trails, theyre actually pretty cool parkour challenges that give some nice stealth gear. I found the path of silence in the tamba highlands, its just west of green fields kakurega if youre checking your map. Pretty scenic spot actually, and the challenge isnt too rough once you get the hang of it.

The rewards are definitely worth it though - you get this neat hood called hibiki's that makes you harder to spot while crouching, plus some xp and knowledge points. Actually, theres a bunch of other trails scattered around japan too, like in iga and yamato, and each one gives you different assassin gear that helps with stealth stuff.

One thing i learned while doing these, its way easier to spot those yellow markers during daytime, and winter weather can make things a bit tricky. The grappling hook really comes in handy for some of the tougher jumps, and dont forget you can use your spyglass to scout ahead. Makes the whole thing much smoother when you can plan your route first. These trails are pretty satisfying to complete once you get into the rhythm of it!
