THIS is the most haunted town in Japan… Because not only is the town’s official mascot an ACTUAL DEMON, but the town itself has statues of demons ALL over the place.
But WHY does this town honor evil spirits? And what other DARK SECRETS does it hold? Today, I’m gonna find out!

Heheh, I'm not like scared of spirits as 'evil' or whatnot just for being spirits, my tradiions about em have em as more likely dangerous for being tricky and having their own set of rules than being all malicious or predatory. Japan does have some scary yokai, though. (I can't think of a particular one that comes to mind. And I could be in trouble if I met one of the ones that you might be screwed if you're nice to on the street or something. :) )

Japanese folklore has been featured as conceptual artifacts in film and anime since the 1960’s like Ge Ge Ge No Kitaro or a Letter To Momo. Spiritual practices in Japan are very interesting and they allow for kami’s to illustrate rhyme and reason for animistic adaptations of their belief systems. Thanks for going on a yokai hunt Mrs. Eats the video was enlightening.

There’s many places considered “haunted” all over Japan, and “Youkai” are a very interesting take on folkloric animism which evolved throughout the years…. That being said, if you seriously want to experience something haunting or with a heavy vibe in Japan, check out the temple of Byodoin in Uji, Kyoto. That temple contains a giant Amitabha Buddha statue with a really creepy and ominous aura to it.

I thought that it was related to a town where rich and powerful Japanese elites went to make deals directly with demons and Satanists groups...also a town that is really not Japan where no one is allowed to go in and out. That's not Japan anymore and once you enter it's a totally isolated community in the middle of nowhere and it inspired some video games...

It's been a long time since I've had commented on Mrs Eats' channel. Great video Mrs Eats. I never knew this kind of town existed in Japan. I wish one day I could travel to Japan and visit haunted locations alone by myself. I've done paranormal hunting in my country Malaysia. I never seen any ghost so far but I heard knocking sounds behind me and heard a faint woman's voice, calling my name. I never feel so excited in my life experienced these things. Maybe next I should try experience paranormal hunting in Japan. By the way, I never heard of ancient or modern day Japanese people practicing black arts or black magic. Is it true Mrs Eats?

The story at 5:30 sounds like just a pretty mundane story about women pretending to eat less than they do, except someone at some point in time mistook the phrase "its like she's got a hidden mouth in the back of her head" literally and it became a demon story.
