Takatayama Observatory: White Figures and Samurai Ghost Rumors in Yamagata

Hong Kong Protests and the Blue Dye Used to Mark Demonstrators
目次

English Version

At Takatayama Observatory in Kanazawa, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, people say a white human-shaped figure can sometimes be seen in the observatory windows.

There are also rumors of the ghost of an armored samurai appearing in the area.

Because this place is said to have once been a battlefield, some believe the apparitions may be the spirits of warriors who died here long ago. Whether there is any truth to that is another question.

If you visit, treat the area as a real public place: go during appropriate hours, respect local rules, and avoid unsafe behavior or entering restricted areas.
