The Road of Liminality (中有の道 Chūu no Michi) is a road in the back of the Youkai Mountain that leads to the Sanzu River. Though mainly traversed by ghosts and phantoms, the living can also walk down this road.
General Information
The threat level here is "low". Even it is full of phantoms and ghosts, the place is very active due to its stands. As Hell was beginning to become difficult to sustain on solely the fees levied on departed souls crossing the Sanzu River, numerous merchant's stands were set up as attractions. Because of this, the road is as lively as a shrine festival, and offers things such as "soul candy" and chances to catch dead goldfish. The stands, however, are run by criminals that were already sentenced to Hell, so often times people passing through will fall for their dirty tricks. If the merchants get caught conning customers, they are sent back to Hell.
Apparently, the festivities sometimes cause the spirit of a dead person to remember the happy times of their life, and retrace their steps to return to life. Even people who life festivals will come here.
