Discover the chilling legend of the ghost of Hozenji Yokocho, a narrow, lantern-lit alleyway hidden in the heart of Osaka’s Namba district. In this episode of Supernatural Japan, we explore the haunted history of this iconic backstreet, including eerie sightings near Hozenji Temple, local urban legends, and Osaka’s long-standing connection to the supernatural. Learn why Hozenji Yokocho’s charm hides a darker side, and why some believe the restless spirit of a woman still lingers in the shadows. If you’re drawn to ghost stories, hidden temples, and the mystery of old Japan, this episode is for you.
