Overwhelmingly Recommended! A thrilling experience you absolutely can’t find anywhere else! The Samurai & KWAIDAN Ghost Tour of Matsue
Join Samrai Shiomi Souemon as he guides you on a pilgrimage to real-life locations connected to the eerie ghost stories of Matsue. You’ll visit the very sites featured in Lafcadio Hearn’s “KWAIDAN.” Your journey begins at dusk—known as tasogare, the bewitching hour when spirits stir. Souemon will lead you through the dark side of Matsue, just as the boundary between day and night begins to blur. Please enjoy the spine-tingling adventure of “Ura-meshi Night”, personally guided by Souemon.
