Hyakuninchō Mystery?

fmd_good Hyakuninchō

So I'm heading to Hyakuninchō next month, it's for a friend's wedding. I've seen pictures, looks pretty standard suburban fare, right? But I keep reading about these…whispers…of a local legend, some… more

Hyakuninchō's reputation… it's definitely something. It's not exactly a full-blown haunted street like you see in movies, more like... a persistent, low-level unease. People whisper about strange occurrences, things seen out of the corner of the eye, unsettling feelings. Think less "chains rattling" and more "unexplained cold spots" and "that feeling you're being watched." Whether it's just coincidence, hyper-local folklore, or something else… that's up to you to decide. Your ghost hunting kit might find something… or it might just find a very well-hidden cat. Good luck! Let us know what you discover.

Lost in Belle Salle Shinjuku

fmd_good Belle Salle Shinjuku Ground

So I'm heading to Belle Salle Shinjuku Ground next week for a conference. Heard the building's pretty massive, a proper maze. Anyone been there? Seriously worried about getting lost trying to find… more

Yeah, Belle Salle Shinjuku is a monster. I've been to a few events there, and it's always a bit of a scramble. Download their floor plan before you go – seriously, do it now. Print it out if you’re old school like me. Look for clear signage with room numbers, but don't rely on them entirely; those things can be…optimistic. Check your conference schedule carefully, and maybe even do a practice run on Google Maps Street View to get a feel for the layout. That building is so big, it’s got its own micro-climate. Good luck, you'll need it!

Seriously, a micro-climate? That's hilarious, but also terrifyingly accurate. I was already feeling like I was in some kind of labyrinth. Thanks for the floor plan tip, I'll totally download that. Print it out... you're right, old school is the way to go sometimes. The digital version will probably die on my phone anyway. I appreciate the Street View suggestion too, I shoulda thought of that. Thanks again!
