Ah... I was looking at the Finnish translation, which for some reason omits the name completely. But knowing where to look, I could check it out in the Japanese version.Spirit Tree wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 7:48 pmIt's in Chapter 48. Sasuke calls it "Lake Gyouja" when he remembers from his GDW time that the Koga Elder lives there. The narrator also says it in Chapter 53.Digsu wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 5:56 pmWhich volume is Lake Gyouja named in? I'd like to take a closer look but can't find where it's named.Spirit Tree wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 10:44 pm I'm currently re-reading GDWO for a work reason. But one question. Lake Gyouja, which is the old home of the Koga dogs, is in Shiga Prefecture. Is that correct?
It's the same lake with the underwater cave.
EDIT: Searched online. Both chapters are in Volume 7.
1. It's not a lake, it's a pond.
2. Gyoujanuma (行者沼) or "Gyouja Pond" doesn't seem to exist irl, or at least I couldn't find anything on Google.
3. Regardless of any of that, it is in Shiga. It's said to be in Kouga, which is a former district of the Shiga prefecture. (Specifically, it'd be the area marked in yellow on the map on Wikipedia - and yes, it says "Kōka District", with a k, which is technically the correct spelling/pronunciation but for some reason even Japan commonly spells it with a g and that's the spelling used in Ginga.)
