Sanctuaries
There are a total of 9 animal sanctuaries on Iki island:

Hidden Cove Tournament
After you complete the main mission Jin From Yarikawa in the Fune's Refuge, you will unlock an optional mission associated with arena fights. We have described the whole topic in detail in the Hidden Cove Tournament - arena battles chapter.
Jin fights there with a wooden weapon. To win, you have to hit the opponent 5 times. Win all 4 matches in the tournament to, e.g. unlock the Dye Merchant, or get a Sword Kit and supplies.
