Located within a large canyon which was once created due to a battle between the Nidaime Tsuchikage and an invading force of Kusagakure no Sato.

Over the year they hold several celebrations to pray to this particular god.

This city has had problems in the past with acquiring various animals associated with various families associated with the shinobi world.

A town which is located to the west of Chiri, and has been known as one of the roughest towns in the world. Many families have been involved with the hype of a special type of event which is held there.

These tournaments not allowing any type of individual trained in shinobi arts to participate.

Large tracks extend far over the barren wasteland to the mines. The coal is used to power the city, and used to aid in the process of refining metals. This city is noted for its pollution and a smog like veil which covers it from time to time.

===Hara City ===

The most northern town of the Earth Country, nearing the closer icy regions of the world. This area can be very cold, and has a great dela of snowfall throughout the entire year. It is rumored that the abnormal amount of snow happens due to in the north a clan of ice creatures roam a strand of islands. This region has been known as being a novelty place to visit and is another tourist attraction.

===Koutetsu Refinery ===

One of the largest refiniries of metal all throughout the world. Deep inside of this refiniery lays a foundry which is used to created a large assortment of armor and weapons. Much of what is shipped out is sent to Iwagakure no Sato, while the remnants is sent towards the various militias which have been trained due to a new incentive program launched many years ago by the Daimyou.

===Earth Temple ===

The Earth Temple is by far one of the hardest regions to get too throughout all of the Earth Country. The surrounding mountain ranges make the journey take a considerable amount of time. Due to the various battles which have been fought all around the area, it has turned the place into a complicated maze of stone and death. In the center of it all, lays an entrance to an underground temple. Deep within this temple lay a league of monk whom have become one with the earth and have honed the power of Natural Energy to do their bidding.

===Spiral Mountain Range ===

An interesting section of the country which has been crafted by a league of extremely powerful earth type jutsu users. These incredibly talented shinobi long have left the Iwagakure no Sato to live a life of solitude amongst their created mountain paradise. It is said that the most powerful doton manipulators roam this area, and powerful clan of ninja once resided in this place.

===Capital City "Daichi" ===

Daichi is the largest city within the Earth Country, cleverly built having its backside protected by a large mountain range. There are large stone walls which surround the outside of the city, and many large iron gates surround it. Getting into the city is very hard at times because of this reason. The city is housed by power hungry and money grubbing politicians. Many of them have become untrusting towards the shinobi world and is starting to view them as a problem.
