You will hear the true stories of what ghostly activities have happened here throughout the centuries.
  2. Minamisenju

    Your guide will take you to several places of interest around the Minamisenju area, including two separate places of worship with a truly tragic history and many reports of paranormal activity, and the location of the old red-light district.
