Uzume Shrine is a shrine hidden in the plains south west of the swampland, south of Ako city, and north of Kemuri Village. The shrine is perfectly placed between these areas, and is also a safety haven from monsters, for the shrine is protected by holy aura made by 1,000 ancient shinto paper writtings. Though it once housed many great preists and preistesses, they all mysteriously vanished one day and never returned. it is believed that perhaps they had done so much good in the world that the gods above praised them and allowed them entry into their paridise above. in any case, it is still a good safe-haven from the hardships of the monster filled lands outside the shrines borders.
Curently it is also the home of a small ninja village
