Yatate Tunnel: The Rumored 3DS Child of Akita’s Route 105

English Version

One of the most repeated rumors about Yatate Tunnel is strangely modern: a child appears inside the tunnel holding something that looks like a Nintendo 3DS, then chases after people who pass through.

Another version of the story says that if someone leaves a 3DS inside the tunnel, the child will not appear. This is only a rumor, and the details behind it are unclear.

Yatate Tunnel is said to be located around Yatate Pass, on National Route 105 in Habiro, Yurihonjo City, Akita Prefecture.

If you visit the area, treat it as a real road, not an attraction. Do not stop inside the tunnel, block traffic, trespass, or leave objects behind.
