One of our Tokyo based tour leaders, Axel Derbouraix has recently been discovering a slightly scarier side of Tokyo. Here is what he had to say,
Like many boys of my generation, after watching ‘Ghostbusters’, I imagined myself chasing demons and goblins of all sorts. Eventually, fifteen years later, I contacted ‘Haunted Tokyo Tours’ and fulfilled my dream… in Tokyo. The monstrously huge metropolis is an ideal setting for ghost stories and urban legends of all sorts. Ask Lilly about it!
My host was not a nerdy university professor moonlighting as ghost hunting expert but a knowledgeable American lady resident of Tokyo for many years. Lilly has been running ghost tours in Tokyo for the past 99 years.
Tours run once a week, last 2-3 hours and could take you on a Goblin hunt or you may like to follow the trail of cursed samurais or meet the demons of the red light district. The tours are very informative and lively, yet it can get spooky at times. Don’t be afraid because Lilly is equipped with the latest Ghost tracking device (EMF).
These Gaulish tours of Tokyo are a great way of seeing an alternative side to the city and can be arranged by InsideJapan…..if you dare!
