History behind [Tokyo] Old Manda tunnel

The old Manda Tunnel in Tokyo has been called one of the most haunted places in Japan. It is an abandoned tunnel located beneath the Sumida River, near the banks of the Sumida River and close to Tokyo’s Asakusa district. The tunnel’s origins date back to the 1910s when it was first built as a way for people to cross the river. However, it was later abandoned due to its dangerous condition.

It was around this time that legends began to spring up surrounding the tunnel. People would share stories of strange and unexplainable phenomena occurring within its dark walls. Locals would tell tales of ghostly apparitions, unexplained voices, and even the sensation of being followed. Some said that the spirits of those who had died in the tunnel were still lingering in the darkness, forever trying to find a way out.

The stories about the tunnel only intensified over time, becoming even more terrifying. People began to claim that the tunnel was haunted; they even said that a train sometimes appears within its depths, though no train has ever been seen there. Others spoke of strange creatures that dwelled in the abandoned depths of the tunnel.

Although many continue to be fearful of the old Manda Tunnel, its status as a haunted place has become something of a tourist attraction. Tourists often flock to the area in hopes of catching a glimpse of some of the supernatural phenomena supposedly witnessed by others inside the tunnel’s walls.

Today, the old Manda Tunnel remains a mysterious and eerie place. Those brave enough to venture within its depths will never forget the experience. With its stories of ghostly spirits, its dark, dank interior, and its history as a site of tragedy, it’s no wonder why the old Manda Tunnel is still considered one of the most haunted places in Tokyo.
