Ishokin Shrine is located in the Faron Grassland region of Hyrule, just west of Highland Stable. The exact coordinates are (-0566, -3523, 0129).
However, if you go straight through it, you will not find a shrine. Instead, you should start talking bath deck slightly to the northwest (-0695, -3394, 0172). He will tell you about his horse spotting hobby and then show you around mysterious crystal he found. Before handing it over, he asks you to give him one huge horse he has heard about, and points you to Highland Stable to the east at (0519, -3442, 0047). This starts the Quest for the “Ride the Giant Horse” shrine..
The horse he is talking about is the Giant white stallion. We have a guide to catching and taming the Giant White Stallion. Once you have your new giant horse, ride back to Baddek.

From Highland Stable, follow the road west as it winds through Harfin Valley, over the Menoat River and to the map dead end (the road continues into the world) near Pappetto Grove. Keep driving west from there until you see Babbek’s fire. Aim for the green spots as you maneuver your beefy horse up the rocky slope, where you’ll get the crystal.

There are some Zonai sleds and tillers to the left of Baddek’s camp, but it’s not too far to carry just the crystal. Ultra convenient. Be very careful about putting it down because it Real wants to roll downhill and away from you – we learned this the hard way.
Bring the crystal to the shrine location to complete “Ride the Giant Horse” and reveal Ishokin Shrine.
