Shiotsu

Shiotsu was a small Japanese port town on the northern coast of Lake Biwa in Omi Province.

History

In 1582, the Igan shinobi Fujibayashi Naoe and the samurai Yasuke visited Shiotsu during their investigation into the whereabouts of the Shinbakufu member known as "The Wheel". Using the town's shrine as a rendezvous point, the two led their own separate investigations to obtain information. While Naoe infiltrated the local inn, Yasuke searched the barge. After reuniting at the shrine with the information they had gathered, they ultimately concluded that The Wheel was hiding on Chikubushima.^[1]
