Help the old lady in Sakuragaoka find a specific house

How to unlock the Boy Scout achievement in Shenmue - Definitive Guide

This is missable.

The first time you head down the T-junction in Sakuragaoka, a cutscene will initiate in which Ryo encounters an old lady who is having trouble finding her friend's house. Ryo offers to help, telling the old lady to wait for him in the park just up the road.

After the cutscene ends, turn around, head straight up the road to the house almost directly opposite the park (the one with the closed gate), zoom in on the little silver sign (which reads "Yamamoto") on the wall to the top-left of the gate with cn_LT, and press cn_A.

Once Ryo confirms this is the correct house, enter the park, approach the old lady sitting on a swing, and Ryo will escort her to her friend's house.

I was at 2pm i think but it should be while you are in Sakuragaoka for the first time. The cutscene is story related. Maybe you had it and not completed it ?

I got it.. first time I went through, I entered Sakuragaoka and then reentered Yamamose. So yea definitely don't enter and then exit until you do it..started a new game and had it happen.

I started a new game and I never got the cut scene. I kept going back and forth between the towns hoping it would eventually pop up. No dice.
I ran into her my girl game I’m still playing. Then met her at the park before I did what you said about zooming into that building and pressing A.
Any chance she’ll return back to the playground?

So the woman asked me to help but at the time I didn't know how to find the house easily. I now know and have found it but it's the next day. Do I just have to wander around the area until she shows up?

I don't know, maybe it's too late ! You must maybe make a new game, but it's right after the beginning so it's ok !

@Mr Grenada, thank you sir. This worked for me as you suggested. Only thing is I did give the kitten tofu, so it appears it doesn’t matter what you feed it.
It triggers for me when I walked to the area where the figurine machines are at the time yours happened. Glad I was able to get this very early in a new game. I’ll juat settle for 920 our of 1k in this game after this achievement. On to Shenmue II now.

On the internet, you can find several comments telling you that you must complete this quest on the first day, which is not true.
I completed it wandering in Ryo's house on the first day, then slept, and on the second day I could do it.
Just simply, don't go to the village if you're not ready to do this.

Look for the nearby map. It’ll point out the house in question. Easy.

Finding the house was easy, but when I was asked by the old woman, the gate was locked and I couldn't go in to confirm, so when I went to the playground and talked to her, Ryo didn't say he found it. The next day it was unlocked but the old woman was gone. Is it possible to get it later?

MISSABLE

Must complete this before 4pm. Leave the Hazuki Residence through the wooden double door in the yard. This will take you to Yokosuka. Continue down the road, and a cutscene will play. Once it has ended, keep going down the road. This will take you to Sakuragaoka. Continue down the road and turn right past the phone booth and the two ladies talking. Continue forward until a cutscene plays. It will be an old woman named Kame Shibukawa, looking for the Yamamoto residence. She will ask you to help her find it. Agree to help. Turn around and head toward Sakuragaoka Park where Kame is waiting for you. Use to zoom into sign in the picture below. Now press to read it. After doing so, go talk to Kame in the part across the street.

If you take too long, Kame will leave the park, so as soon as you agree to help, go find the house and report to her.

You will meet the Old Lady in Sakuragaoka, at the very beginning of the games, when you pass the telephone booth to the right. From the dialogue it will become clear that you will need to find Yamamoto's house. From the place where you meet the old lady, go right until the turn to Dobuita, to the left of the turn, a house with a white sign and a double gate is our client. Clamp , point at the sign, X, and follow the old woman to the park, which is one house further, on the left. The little lady will sit on the swing.

Grandma only appears on the first day of the game! You must arrive in Sakuragaoka before 16:00.

The required house is located next to the park, where an elderly woman will be waiting for you, it is impossible to miss, although I missed it while passing)
