 Japanese Urban legends and stories

1. The lawless Inunaki Village

Inunaki Village is one of the most popular tormented tales of Japan. A young man was murdered in the old Inunaki tunnel. It is said that you will hear howling and sobbing sounds in the forests of Inunaki Village. It is said to exist outside the Japanese constitution and thus doesn't obey its laws. The legend of Inunaki Village goes like this. You must take a small road through the tunnel to reach the village.

If you follow that, you will find a sign that says " the Japanese constitution is not in effect past here". You will see the remains of a couple who were lucky enough to enter the village but never came back. The village is told to be full of traps and the villagers will attack you with hatchets and sticks. Dare to do it?

2. The red Cape murderer

The Aka Manto is based on a real murderer who kidnapped 13 people and slaughtered them in 13 nights. He arises in the toilet when victims are naked and asks" red Cape or blue Cape?" If you answer red, he will cut slash your entire throat causing your blood to flow. If you say blue he will strangle you to death, turning your body blue.

3. Tomino's Hell

This gruesome poem was written by Saiji Yasu in 1919, it is speculated that whoever reads this poem aloud will die. It is about a young boy named Tomino who falls into the eight levels of hell. Some people think that it is about Tomino losing his soul from having killed one of his parents. 

4. Hanako-san, the Japanese bloody Mary

The bloody Mary of Japan has a tragic backstory. Some say that she was a victim of an air raid during world war 2 who was lying low in the bathroom when the school blow up. You need to go to the third bathroom of the third floor and knock three times, saying " Are you there?" You will hear a small voice saying," yes I am". The door will unlock and you will see a schoolgirl covered in blood before she drags you in with her. 

5. The Ghost of Okiku

There was once a girl, Okiku who lived in Himeji Castle as a servant. One day she broke a plate of her master. His master was so enraged that he killed and tossed her in a well. Every night, since then her ghost crawled out from the well to continue counting her master's plate. She would count to nine, then upon realizing that one plate is missing, she would let out a terrible howl that is powerful enough to give you a heart attack. Her howls can be heard now also, lingering for justice.
