Persona 3 Reload Persimmon Tree location

The Bookworms store will open on Saturday, 4/25, in Persona 3 Reload. Unfortunately, you can’t actually access the shop until you complete a special side quest for the Elderly Couple inside. To kick off this quest, you need to fast travel to the Iwatodai Strip Mall and interact with the Bookworms door, which is on the bottom floor of the shopping center.

After speaking to the Elderly Couple, they will mention a Persimmon Tree. However, we have done the legwork for you already and have tracked down the exact location of the tree that you need to find! The Persimmon Tree is located at Gekkoukan High School Corridor in Perona 3 Reload.

Here are the steps to find the Persimmon tree:

  • Fast travel to Gekkoukan High School from the Town map during the day.
  • Take the right hallway at the 1F School Building warp point.
  • Run past the Economics room and exit the Corridor doors at the school.
  • Walk up to the small tree in the Corridor section of the school to pick up the Persimmon Leaf item.

From the school building’s 1st floor entrance, take the right hallway, which contains the Home Economics Room, Scicene Room, and Laboratory. Once you’ve run past these classes, take a left at the end of the hall and enter the “Corridor” doors next to the staircase.

Now that you are in the corridor, take the small steps to the left and walk down to the grass area. Here, you will find a single tree in front of the iron gate. Walke up to the tree and interact with it to pick up the Persimmon Tree leaf item.

With the Persimmon leaf in hand, fast travel back to the Iwatodai Strip Mall and enter Bookworms. The Elderly Couple will immediately recognize the leaf and will start talking to you. After the conversation, you will unlock the Hierophant Social Link at Rank 1.

Persona 3 Reload is available on PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S.
