THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Hakone-yama in Toyama Park is associated with Tokyo ghost stories involving screams, voices and figures connected in folklore to the area's wartime military history.
Toyama Park occupies land with a long history, including use by the Imperial Japanese Army. The Hakone-yama section later became associated with stories of crying, screams and apparitions after dark. Some sensational accounts about secret wartime experiments are difficult to substantiate, so the entry distinguishes the documented military history from the paranormal folklore.
