Pupunke Shrine location
Pupunke Shrine can be found within the Great Hyrule Forest region, especially the Korok forest. The exact location is (0619, 2211, 0164).
To reach the Korok Forest, you must first visit the Musanokir Shrine (through the depths) and then remove the darkness infecting the Great Deku Tree.
Once the Koroks are happy again, you’ll have access to three additional shrines: Ninjis, pupunke, and Sakunbomar. Each has its own quest for a shrine.
To start Pupunke’s quest for a shrine, “A beautiful stone and five golden apples”, you will have to speak to Damia at (0563, 2160, 0159). From the center of Korok forest, head east and then northeast along the path of glowing plants. You will find Damia standing next to a shrine crystal.

Even easier (and a little safer), head to Sonapan Shrine on Satori Mountain. There is a much larger apple orchard just outside the shrine where you can probably collect (more than five) golden apples without worrying about getting lost in the mist.
