From yokai in old villages to the cursed video in your living room — learn the stories Japan actually tells.

Yokai are the shared backstory behind half the anime, games, and films you already love, and knowing them changes what you see.

By the end

You'll be able to name, explain, and retell Japan's key yokai, yurei, and urban legends, spot where they show up in games, anime, and film, and tell a ghost story of your own the way Japanese storytellers do.

Who this is for

Anyone who loves horror, folklore, or Japanese pop culture — no Japanese language needed, no plane ticket required.
