Centipede Lands

Centipede Lands features a small lake surrounded by a well-maintained post road station, serving as a Border Waystation between the Kitsu Family and Akodo provinces. This station is jointly administered by representatives from both clans and includes samurai quarters for travelers and a tea house for dignitaries. A notable landmark in the area is the Shrine of the Lake Kami, where offerings are made and spiritual invocations occur. The climate is generally mild, with occasional unseasonable cold breezes.

The station is recognized for its significance, as indicated by the praise given to the Shrine to Amaterasu by visitors. Ritual practices at the shrine, including invocations calling upon ancestral spirits, further emphasize the spiritual importance of Centipede Lands.
