English Version
In Inatori, Higashiizu Town, Kamo District, Shizuoka Prefecture, there is a well-known rumor about an abandoned isolation ward.
According to the story, people who visit the former ward and then leave may find a black shadow following them from behind.
The site is said to have once been used to isolate patients with highly contagious diseases such as tuberculosis and smallpox. Details are unclear, and the story remains in the realm of local rumor, but its bleak setting has made it a point of interest for fans of haunted places in Japan.
If you are traveling in the area, do not enter abandoned buildings or restricted property. Old medical facilities can be structurally unsafe, and trespassing may be illegal. It is best to treat this as a local legend to learn about from a safe distance.
