After the cutscene plays you will learn a bit about Guardian Spirits.

At the beginning of this cave based mission, you will head down the path from the shrine to find an enemy in the chamber ahead. There is a chest guarded by another enemy in a nook here that you can loot for Yokai Water Pot x1, Arrow 2x.

Step outside along the ledge. Be careful as an enemy will emerge from the nook to the left. Defeat it and advance. Be mindful of the opening to the left as a bunch of bats will come flying out. Once you enter the chamber there will be 3x melee soldiers and 1x archer. To the left is an upward ramp leading to a locked door. To the right is another nook that leads into another nook with a sleeping enemy (you can sneak up on this enemy and get a free grapple attack). To the rear of the room is a path leading to the next area. There is a spearman patrolling this hall. as you travel down the hall there will be a door to the right. Inside is a swordsman and a large spearman. after defeating these two enemies, continue to the back of the room to have an interaction with the cat spirit that will point out a wall with eyes. Use the bow emote to gain access to the hidden path behind. (This path leads to a nook that is attached to the long hall you came from). In this nook you can find 2x swordsman enemies  Continue along the path to reach the exit of the cave.

Upon reaching the exit the cave you will be on a much wider ledge where there will be 2x enemies (1x axeman and 1x spearman) to your left and 1x archer to your right. Lure the melee enemies back into the hall you came from and defeat them. then take out the archer on the right, then head down the tunnel by the archer  and break the boxes to reveal a corpse with a Fire Amulet x1. there is also a ledge you can drop down from the previous ledge using the mechanism to the immediate right of the cave exit. Continuing down the left side of the ledge you will come to a fork. To the right there is 1x axeman enemy and a healing hot spring that can be used to regenerate health gradually over time by resting in it. Continuing down the left side therewill be a cave to the left that will lead to a swordman enemy before returning to the ledge. Continuing further there will 1x archer that is easily dealt with. on the left is another nook with a some loot??. At the end of the ledge you can go left, but be careful as there will be bats that fly out of this cave.

Enter the cave to find a Shrine. 

Continue through to the next section in the mine shaft taking out the enemies along the way. Eventually you will come to a room with glowing mushrooms. Drop down to the next level where you will reveal a yokai. Defeat it as you have before and take the railed path down until you come out to an opening. Take the ledge to the right. At the end there is an enemy here. Take it out and you can look below to drop down to lower stone bridge. If you proceed ahead into a small cave you will reveal a yokai, and beyond it a Shrine.

Near here will be a ladder you can take down to a lower level and another ladder down from here that takes you to the ground. Head straight ahead and keep to the left around the bend to find reveal a shadow realm One-eyed Oni. You can also opt to explore the various nooks down here for loot but mind all the patrolling enemies. Dispatch the oni and progress ahead through the narrower path. Be mindful of the caves to your left and right as obnoxious bats will come flying out of them. Drop down the ledge to challenge the boss of this mission. Hino-Enma.
