English Version
Near Fudo Falls in Tsuruhagi-cho, Kaminoyama City, Yamagata Prefecture, there is a tunnel tied to a quiet but unsettling local rumor.
According to the story, the sound of a baby crying can sometimes be heard from inside the tunnel. Some say it may be the spirit of a mizuko, a child who died before birth or in infancy in Japanese Buddhist folk belief.
Details are limited, and the tale is best treated as local folklore rather than a confirmed event. If you visit the area, stay on public roads and marked paths, avoid entering restricted or unsafe tunnel areas, and be careful around traffic, darkness, and mountain weather.
Japanese Language
