English Version
At Yomotsu Hirasaka in Matsue, Shimane Prefecture, stone pillars stand like a torii gate, marking a place long associated with Japan’s mythic underworld.
According to local legend, people who take photos here are said to capture strange images with unusual frequency. The slope is believed to connect the world of the living with Yomi, the realm of the dead in Japanese mythology. Some say that the souls of the dead are drawn from the other side, which may be why reports of eerie phenomena are often linked to this spot.
Location: 2352 Iya, Higashiizumo-cho, Matsue, Shimane Prefecture.
If you visit, treat the area with respect, follow local signs, stay on public paths, and avoid disturbing nearby residents or private property.

石柱が鳥居のように立っている場所があり、その場所で写真を撮ると高い確率で心霊写真が撮れるという。この坂道は現世と黄泉の世界を繋ぐ場所とされ、あの世から死者の魂が呼び寄せられていることが原因なのだろうか、心霊現象もよく起きている。島根県松江市東出雲町揖屋２３５２
