During this educational yet irreverent and humorous introduction to the dark side of Tokyo, we will see the sites of some of the most gruesome crimes in Tokyo's history, ranging from ones that would get you put in jail for life, and some that would put you in front of a war crimes tribunal. *Note: This tour includes dark/dirty humor and adult language is used. Please come prepared. The tour starts in Tokyo's organized crime capital and red light district, Shinjuku's Kabukicho neighborhood. Here we will learn about gang wars, shocking murders, shirked lovers, and Tokyo's quasi-legal sex industry. From there we will walk to Tokyo's mini-Auschwitz, Toyama Park, a place shrouded in mystery and home to the ghosts of the victims of Unit 731's terrible human experimentation projects. Finally, we will visit Aoyama Cemetery for some good ol' fashioned Japanese ghost stories in the perfect setting for them. We will also visit the grave of Japan's favorite and most loyal dog, Hachiko.

Already been to Sensoji and Zojoji? Have a love of history? This guided tour explores a pocket of the city once feared and avoided—where execution grounds, unclaimed graves, and grim legends shaped local history. We begin where a towering Jizō statue silently marks the site of Edo-period executions. Here you’ll hear chilling stories of executioners and the notorious figures who now rest nearby. Once nicknamed the “Temple of Thrown-In Bodies“ for centuries, next was the final resting place for those cast aside by society—from Yoshiwara’s abandoned courtesans to today’s unclaimed dead. We will also visit a quiet neighborhood shrine with a cafe on site to take a look at a local shrine. Drawing on years of research, this tour uncovers forgotten details and little-known stories, weaving together storytelling with cultural insights.

Tokyo Execution Grounds and Forgotten Souls: Dark History of Edo
3 hours
Free Cancellation
from
$77
Per group
Kabuki, swordsmanship, ukiyo-e, jujutsu, sword appraisal, Western medicine, ghosts, drugs, and even outcasts of society—during the Edo period, one place connected them all. That place, central to Edo culture, was the execution grounds. ■ Punishment and Execution Grounds: The Birthplace of Japanese Culture When we think of Japanese punishment, seppuku comes to mind, but Edo punishments went far beyond. On this tour, we follow the path of a young samurai executed for murdering over 130 people, visiting his crime scenes and the northern and southern execution grounds of Tokyo. We will see towering statues that witnessed executions, giant memorials for the condemned, pedestals once used in executions, and wells where severed heads were washed. We will uncover how these grim places shaped the very heart of Japanese culture. Want more insider stories, culture deep-dives, and Japan life tips?
