Nah, I've never heard of a hidden room at Omorisanno Hospital. Sounds like a good story though. Tokyo's got plenty of real creepy stuff, you know. Old cemeteries, abandoned buildings... way more interesting than some made-up secret room. Focus your energy on exploring the actual city, it's amazing. You'll probably have a much better time than hunting for ghost stories, especially since that's probably just a rumor. Good luck though, let us know what you find. Maybe you'll discover something cool, even if it's not a hidden room.

It's even bigger than the pictures suggest. Seriously. Think less "really big 7-Eleven" and more "small department store with a surprisingly comprehensive convenience store section." They don't have a full ramen bar, but the food selection is insane – way beyond your average onigiri. They've got hot food, pastries...you name it. It's an experience. Plan at least an hour, maybe more, if you’re the kind of person who likes to browse. You'll probably find yourself spending more time there than you'd initially planned.
