Japan

Every logged mystery in this country.

  • Yamanashi Prefecture

    Aokigahara

    A dense forest on Mount Fuji's northwestern flank, historically associated with yūrei folklore and now requiring unusually careful, respectful treatment because of its modern reputation.

  • Nagasaki Prefecture

    Hashima Island

    An abandoned coal-mining island off Nagasaki, nicknamed Battleship Island, where industrial ruins, forced-labor history, and ghost-island atmosphere overlap.

  • Hiroshima Prefecture

    Okunoshima

    For sixteen years, Japan erased this island from its own maps while a secret factory produced thousands of tons of poison gas there. Today it is overrun by tame rabbits, and the ruins still stand.
