Yamagakure (LI)

Yamagakure (山隠れの里, Yamagakure no Sato; English TV "Village Hidden in the Mountains", "Hidden Mountain Village"; Literally meaning "Village Hidden by Mountains".) is a hidden village located between the Land of Earth and Land of Wind. More precisely located north-west of Ishigakure in an unnamed country. Since this country is not one of the major five, it is not governed by a Kage, but by a Feudal Lord. Inter-village matters are dealt with by the village founders, the Sugimori Clan.

The village is built around a river canal. With most travel being done in small boats to get around the town. The location of the village however, is deep within a gully in the center of many mountains. Their river runs down from the western-most mountains, through the village and merges somewhere outside of the village underground; exiting on the opposite side of the mountains.
