Kanto High School Mystery?

Nah, it's just a story. Kanto International High School? Been there, done that – conferences and all. The "ghost" is total folklore. Probably started by some kids trying to scare each other, you know? Older buildings often get these things attached to them. Don't sweat it. Focus on the conference. You'll be fine.

Nah, Hyakuninchō isn't some haunted ghost town. It's just...quiet. Really quiet. Think less "eerie" and more "peaceful, slightly forgotten." The canal area is lovely for a stroll, though. You'll see more cats than people, probably. I spent a week there sketching – hardly saw a soul. The low population density is accurate; it's not exactly bustling. But creepy? Not really my experience. Maybe those online forums are overhyping it for clicks. Enjoy the canals though, seriously beautiful in the evening light.
