Suzugamori: Ghosts of Tokyo’s Old Execution Ground

Discover the dark history and ghost stories of Suzugamori Execution Ground, one of Tokyo’s most infamous former execution sites. Located in Shinagawa along the old Tōkaidō road, Suzugamori was once a place of crucifixion, burning, beheading, and public punishment during the Edo period. In this mini episode of Supernatural Japan, we explore the chilling legend of the head-washing well, the tragic story of Yaoya Oshichi, reports of shadowy figures and unexplained voices, and the site’s modern reputation as a haunted shinrei spot. From samurai-era executions to eerie paranormal legends, Suzugamori is a haunting reminder that beneath modern Tokyo lies a much darker past.
