The Best Jobs For Each Character In Yakuza: Like A Dragon
Each character in Yakuza: Like a Dragon should try out a few different Jobs to properly maximize their builds, with some abandoning their first Jobs.
Unlock The Foreman Job To Access Hidden Areas
Requirements For The Foreman Job
You will need to switch to the Foreman Job for Kasuga as some Golden Keys are behind hidden areas. Switching to the Foreman job can be done at the Hello Work building in the Commercial District. Switching to this job will let you destroy boarded up areas and create an entrance to hidden areas.
In order to unlock the Foreman job, you will need to have Kasha’s Charisma level to three.
Demolishing these hidden and connected areas will let Kasuga access the Blackmarket merchants hidden behind these secret entrances. Kasuga needs to speak to only two Blackmarket merchants to get started with locating some Gold Safe Keys.

Well Hidden For a Reason
Blackmarket Merchant | Location |
|---|---|
Yokohama Commercial District | Near Hamako’s Restaurant |
Zhou Long Weapon Shop | Past the movie theater and in the alley above the shop |
Two Blackmarket merchants sell Golden Keys in Yokohama; however, they can be tricky to find. The first is in the Commercial District of Yokohama. They are hidden beyond the abandoned boarded-up building nearHamako’s restaurant, where the bars are located. To find this location, you can use the spawn point of the Can Quest or go to Ichiban Confections.
From either of the above locations, you can head southwest down the empty street and look for the boarded building with the red awning. Once found, demolish the building to reach thehidden Blackmarket shop, run by a little old lady. She sells accessories that increase your experience points earned, items that help the player cheat when gambling in Yakuza, and Gold Safe Keys.
Gold Safe Keys are always sold for 10,000 Yen each at every Blackmarket Merchant
The second location is the boarded-up shop near theZhou Long weapon shop. In the alley above the weapon shop, there should be another set of stairs. Head up the stairs, and a caution-taped door will be on the right side. Demolish the door to find a man wearing a bucket hat. He sells Gold Safe Keys as well. There is a third Blackmarket seller, but he doesn’t offer Gold Safe keys in his stock.

Go Broke
If you don’t have enough money in Yakuza: Like a Dragon, look in Korea town for the man in the mask. This can only be done after you have completed Chapter Six of the main story.
