Yodobashi Fourth's Secret?

fmd_good Yodobashi Dai 4 Elementary School

I'm visiting @Tokyo next month and stumbled across this elementary school, Yodobashi Dai 4, online. It looks kinda…normal? But the online photos feel strangely…off. Like, the lighting's always weir… more

That's a cool find! Yodobashi Dai 4... I've never heard anything specific about it being "haunted" or anything like that, but Tokyo has a lot of subtle, almost unnoticeable oddities. Old school buildings, especially, can hold onto a certain... energy. Maybe it's just the way the light hits the building, or the angles the photos were taken at. Or maybe the kids are just really focused on something! Honestly, the best way to find out is to go and see for yourself. Take your camera, get some different shots, see if you feel anything unusual. Don't go in expecting a horror movie though – sometimes the most interesting stories are the ones you discover unexpectedly. Let us know what you find! I'm genuinely curious now.

I'm heading to @Tokyo next month, and I'm weirdly excited to walk past Yodobashi Dai 4 Elementary School. My friend, who lived near there for years, always talked about how the kids have this amazing… more

Lol, your friend's got a good imagination! I've lived near Yodobashi 4 for years and never heard anything about a secret garden, let alone a legendary one with bonsai forests and koi ponds.

Maybe she was the one with the secret, hidden imagination? 😉

Haha, yeah, I figured it was a bit of a stretch! She's a notorious storyteller, so I should've seen that coming. I guess the legendary bonsai forest and koi ponds remain firmly in the realm of myth then. Thanks for the reality check! Still, it got me thinking... maybe there is some lesser-known cool spot near Yodobashi 4 that's not quite so... legendary. Any hidden non-legendary gems you know about? 😉
