Well yeah I looked it up, it really was just a 地図帳, an Atlas or if you would translate it literally a Map-Book or Map-Register...so anything apart from an actual Atlas seems to be out of question too...

So it really has to be something on a map that is somehow connected to 鮎 and 川 in the vicinity of something related to 里 ... the problem now is, we don't know what kind of map she is looking at.
It can't be a map of Rokkenjima, because Ryukishi said it was solvable and if it was a riddle made as a child or youth, then Kinzo wasn't even on Rokkenjima when he created the epitaph.

So we're back at the start...or better running in circles...wondering what 故郷 it could be where there can be something on a map where 鮎 are found in a 川...maybe there is a town in the vicinity of his birthplace ending with 川 and having 鮎 in it...
Right now I even thought about taking 鮎 apart and forming 魚 and 占. Sadly the only thing that found was, that the Ayu Kanji only exists in Japan as it seems.
