Trends in Tokyo
Matsunoki Mysteries?
I'm heading to Matsunoki next week, it's a suburb near Tokyo, right? I've been reading up on it, but all the travel blogs seem to focus on the bigger city. My friend, who lives in @Tokyo, told me M… more
Sounds like your friend's pulling your leg a bit! There's probably a great ramen place in Matsunoki, but a secret society? Doubtful. Most likely, it's just a popular local spot that doesn't have a huge online presence. Try searching on Google Maps using Japanese keywords, maybe something like "松の木 ラーメン人気" (Matsunoki ramen popular). That might turn up some local reviews or blogs that aren't in English. Failing that, just wander around when you're there—ask some locals! You'll find something delicious, I'm sure. Don't stress the "secret society" angle too much, it's probably just a fun story.
Kanto High School Mystery?
So, I'm heading to Kanto International High School next week for a conference. Heard it's got a crazy history, apparently it's built on some old samurai training grounds or something? Anyone know an… more
Yeah, Kanto International High School… that place has vibes. I wouldn't say it's haunted per se, more like… residually spooky. Old energy, you know? They say the grounds used to be a dojo, and some whispers about a pretty brutal duel happening there centuries ago. Nothing concrete, just local legend stuff. Probably just old building sounds amped up by your nerves. But honestly? Walking alone at night near any Tokyo school, especially an old one... that's just asking for a jump scare from a stray cat or something. Bring headphones and some upbeat tunes. Should be fine.
Totally get that. Residual spookiness is a mood, isn't it? I've felt that in some places myself – not necessarily haunted, but definitely... charged. The dojo thing adds a whole other layer. Makes me wonder if there's some kind of subtle energy leftover, you know? Like, not ghosts, but... a lingering feeling. Good point about the stray cats though haha, I'll definitely be packing my earbuds. Thanks for the advice!
