Uebe Beach

Uebe Beach was the coast of the Crane near the Uebe Marshes. When the wind passed through the sands, it made a soft whistling sound, and when stepped upon, the sand made a flat “wood-block” striking sound. It was believed that this sound came from the spirits dwelling beneath the sand, trying to recall the beautiful song that a princess once sang while resting on the beach. A shrine to Isora, Fortune of the Shore, rose just offshore, doubling as a lighthouse and maintained by the priest and shrine keepers.
