The in-game map with all 20 Honcho collectibles marked. Click the map to open it in full size.

All collectibles show up on your map once you reach Area Bond Level 3 in Honcho. You raise the Area Bond by restoring Public Order, raising Veiled Edge Banners and finding collectibles. Nothing in Honcho is missable, so you can also come back after the story.

Honcho Veiled Edge Banners

Veiled Edge Banners are save and fast travel points. As soon as you restore the Public Order, the banners are revealed on the map.

Honcho Cat Locations

Cats are real cats you need to pet, not statues. Listen for meowing, which means one is close. Calico cats run off if you are noisy, so sneak up on them. You need all 100 cats in the game for the Cats Over All trophy, and you can trade them for rewards at the cat vendor in Yokohama.
