Jin-niku-kan: The Rumored “Human Meat” Yakiniku House in Matsumoto

English Version

Jin-niku-kan, literally “Human Meat House,” is the nickname of a former yakiniku restaurant in Asama Onsen, Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture.

According to local rumor, the restaurant once struggled financially and could no longer afford to buy meat from regular suppliers. The legend says that, in desperation, it began serving human flesh—an alleged story that is said to be the origin of its unsettling name.

Today, the site is reportedly covered in barbed wire. Some people claim that if you stand nearby, you can hear human voices drifting from deep inside the property, mixed with the sound of the wind.

The place is associated with an address in Asama Onsen 3-chome, Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. If you visit the area, do not enter fenced, abandoned, or private property. View only from public roads, respect residents, and avoid going at night or alone.

人の肉を提供していたと噂される焼肉屋。現在は、有刺鉄線で覆われているが、奥の方から風の音と共に人の声が聞こえてくると言われている。かつてこの場所にあった焼肉屋が、経営難に陥り肉の仕入れが困難となった為、人の肉を提供したことがその名の由来とされている。長野県松本市浅間温泉3丁目25?17
