7 Aokigahara Forest

When it comes to scary locations in Japan, Aokigahara Forest is definitely one of the first ones people think of. This location has become iconic because of its dark reputation. Since the 1950s, this location has been the final resting place of many people in Japan.

6 Okiku’s Well

Okiku's Well is a tourist destination located on the grounds of Himeji Castle.  According to legend, Okiku worked for a revered samurai named Aoyama. Aoyama was in love with Okiku, but she turned him down.

Upset that she rejected him, Aoyama convinced Okiku that she had accidentally destroyed a family heirloom and threatened to tell someone what she did but promised to keep it a secret if she would marry him. Okiku refused, which upset Aoyama, and he threw her into this well. Now, the well is allegedly haunted by Okiku's ghost.
