1. Jomon Tunnel in Hokkaido

This tunnel opened in 1914 which is located in Hokkaido and 507m long.It’s located between JR Hokkaido Sekihokuhon Line Ikutahara Station and Kanehana Station.Sadly, this tunnel was made by illegal labor environment which we call as “sweatshop” and “Takobeya Rodo” in Japanese.

Due to the crucial working manual, people who fell over and didn’t have any more energy to work would be buried alive in this tunnel, let alone providing them with enough food or medical treatments.People found more than 100 human skeletons with a standing postures in the tunnel, when the Tokachi-Oki earthquake occurred in 1968, which leads to the discovery of those skeletons.

Many people said they had witnessed human figures and heard creepy voice from this tunnel. People got involved in accidents like breaking legs or committing suicide after they visited this tunnel. So if you want to visit this tunnel, go at your own risk.

You can’t imagine what deep curses those died people still have.

It’s shallow pond with unruffled surface, so what caused their death?

The fact came up a few years later when many people saw white hands stretching out of the pond at night and trying to drag people down into the pond.People said that Touchan and the other 2 boys had also been dragged into the pond by these creepy white hands.And people can still hear the sound of kids crying from the pond these days.Due to this accident, people started to call this pond “Touchan Pond.”
