Komachi's Travel Guide
The Ochiyo district is the holy ground of Otosan Uchi, filled with pilgrims, monks and shugenja of all orders. Seven temples dominate the district, their tolling bells marking every hour and each Imperial passing or birth. Although the district is quite large—taking up most of the Imperial City’s southern arc—its primary function is religious. The district contains temples to six of the great kami, a temple to Amateratsu, and many smaller shines. The area also provides ample housing for many residents of the city; a large population of Lion samurai choose to live in this district.
Ochiyo is well known for its peaceful streets and pleasant population. Some part of this is due to the lack of shops and shouting heimin; the rest can be attributed to the Lion samurai who patrol the area and who practice kenjutsu in the open fields between the district’s houses.
