All Crest Locations for My Room Puzzle in Silent Hill f (Shimizu Residence)
As you enter the Shimizu Residence I, you can find the “My Room” puzzle on the right wall as you go past the Hokora Shrine. If you go right of the puzzle, you will end up in a hallway with a red door at the end, which is your final destination for this chapter, but it will be locked until you acquire the emblem. Grab the calendar next to it and head back to the puzzle.
There will be a spot where you can place the calendar to light up the room in front of you, which grants access to the second floor. At this point, you do not need anything from the first floor, so you can leave right away.

When you reach Shimizu Residence II, head forward to find the Hokora. Before the shrine, the path to the left leads to a room on the right that has the calendar required for the third floor. From the Hokora, head straight and turn left at the end. Keep going until you come across a spawner enemy. You can deal with this enemy if you want, as the enemies it spawns can be quite annoying. There is also a Blessed Hand Mirror on the left, which acts as an Omamori and breaks upon death. Instead of dying, it will restore your Health and Sanity.
At the end of the hallway, there will be a door on the left where you can find the Scales puzzle. This puzzle has multiple wooden dolls that you place on the scales in order to balance them. For the first ending, you must put the headless doll on the left and all the other dolls on the right scale. This will give you the Scales Plate.

Once you have explored a bit and found the calendar and Scales Plate, head straight from the Hokora and turn right. Do not bother with the doors here, as all of them are locked. Instead, follow the hallway until you reach the blind enemy and deal with it. To the left at the end is a door that leads to a room where you can grab the Picture Frame. With this item in your possession, make your way to the third floor.
Inside the Shimizu Residence III, you can find the Hokora in a similar place. After saving your game, interact with the door on the right immediately after the Hokora. There will be a shelf you can interact with and examine to find your diary. Inside the diary is a Block of Wax. Grab this and proceed to the left hallway now.
There are quite a few enemies here, so be careful as you make your way to the kitchen, where you will find the Propane Tube next to the stove. With all of the items mentioned above in your possession, proceed and make your way to the first floor. There is a dining room in the middle of this floor, where you have the Ominous Picture room and the puzzle.
This room can be easily accessed from a number of directions. Place the Picture Frame on the empty spot and rotate it to cause the family picture to fall down, revealing a crest. Completing the puzzle will spawn a blind enemy that is quite annoying to deal with. Do watch out for their grabs, as you will lose Sanity on top of your health. Deal with the blind enemy and grab the White Bird and Fox Plate.

Now that you have acquired the second crest and solved this puzzle, the area will change, and more enemies will spawn on the upper floors. Make your way to the kitchen on the first floor, which is to the bottom left. Inside here, you can fit the propane tube and melt the Block of Wax to reveal the Fletching Key.
Take the Fletching Key back to the third floor, where you will find a lot more enemies roaming around. You need to reach the main dining room located on the left side of this floor, opposite the kitchen. Use the key to enter the room where a flashback will play. Grab the Black Bird and Sword Plate from the table and make your way back to the first floor.
If you are playing on a lower difficulty, simply running past these enemies is a possible option and will save you from wasting your healing items as well as losing weapon durability.
