Abandoned Himuro Mansion The Most Haunted Mansion In Japan (REAL LIFE FATAL FRAME)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Located in Wakayama Prefecture, This Western-style building is a deserted mansion with a fascinating history that is said to be the inspiration for Himuro Mansion from the game Fatal Frame. Although they have striking similarities such as being located on top of a mountain and involving hauntings. Its true origin sets it apart. Constructed in 1910, the opulent villa was the residence of Asajiro Yura, a prominent and affluent Japanese businessman. Born in 1878, Asajiro hailed from the Yura family, renowned textile dyers associated with the Kishu Tokugawa clan. After completing his education at Osaka University, he embarked on a venture in the dye industry, transforming his family's business.
As the world plunged into the chaos of World War I in 1914, Asajiro faced a critical predicament. With imports of dyestuffs from Germany halted due to the conflict, Japan's dye industry, heavily reliant on these supplies, faced peril. As the German Empire possessed exclusive manufacturing technology, the situation seemed dire. Yet, Asajiro rose to the challenge and became the first in Japan to successfully refine industrial-grade pure benzene, a significant breakthrough. He also ventured into producing phenol for disinfection and played a pivotal role in manufacturing Shimose gunpowder and set explosives during the Sino-Japanese War and World War II. Asajiro's expertise became instrumental in post-war Wakayama's chemical industry and fostered connections with military officials.
Rumors even suggested that Asajiro Yura's had gatherings which provided him with insider information on Pearl Harbor. Nevertheless, Asajiro passed away in 1964 at the age of 86, leaving behind a family legacy. The mansion remained within the Yura family's possession until the 1980s when they relocated after the tragic loss of one of their children to a severe illness. Since around 2005, the Mori no Hai Western-style building gradually fell into disuse and obscurity, its historical significance fading with time.

Hope you guys enjoy this video! I always love haunted explorations! And this place was one of my favorites in the new Japan series! Do me a favor and share the video :) 5000+ thumbs up and I will go back and do a ghost hunt! let me know where youre from in the comments as well
Virginia girl here! I really loved this one! K-2 maybe!
super creepy! I gave a timestamp, heard something creepy in the audio 42:59 and 43:01. sound like a man loud whisper, "EHHH!" twice.
Family must have visited London 2cd House entrance shelf,Figure of a soldier like outside Buckingham Palace.
I was watching your video on my TV and I felt as if the fan was moving when you entered the kitchen. I replayed it many times and felt the same way. Can you say that it was reflection of light that tricked my eyes or you missed the that part ??
Shared and I’m from Cincinnati, Ohio as always love love LOVE your videos and the places you visit! Thank you. Please stay safe and healthy! 🤟🏽✌🏽
I will never understand why people have to destroy abandoned places. It would have been so cool to see this place as it was.
LOOTERS arent known for their high intelligent and good manner
And the maintenance too seems at ease
They have to vent their sense of hopelessness and their sense of purposeless by destroying. They know they haven't got anything else to offer the world.
They haven't got the guts or brains to think about why they feel so worthless so they just destroy. Dogs piss up against structures to claim the territory for themselves. These individuals are sub animal. Places like these make these people feel intimidated. They know deep down they are nothing and so they destroy what puts them down. A family, a home, a history, evidence of love, of having been someone. There is sadness in abandoned homes, but so much more sadness in the losers that need to actually destroy on purpose an already abandoned building. Pathetic.
Who knows who still owns it and how long ago someone was last there.
Interesting place
The “samurai dolls” are mostly Ichimatsu dolls, a type of doll popularized in the Edo period. They usually depict children; the larger boy doll dressed in black, in the red case is probably (I didn’t go back to check) wearing a shichi-go-san kimono set. The previous doll with the head wrapping is a gofun (a white pigmented, chalky substance similar to plaster) doll representing the warrior-monk Benkei. Both of these types of dolls probably have a wood and gofun (clay and later plastic replaced the very thin gofun layers in more expensive or older dolls) construction, with real kimono silk and metallic thread used to clothe them. The hanging “charm” depicting a toy horse is not actually a charm, but another type of doll-adjacent artwork called oshie. It’s a 3D form of picture made up of cloth; elaborate and expensive hagoita paddles utilize this technique to make the figures more dynamic.
That’s some very interesting information! Gonna have to research it further!
Must have been gorgeous back in the day!
My Jichan has a lot of those at his house. We adore them bc they are so elegant
It's very sad that they just left the samurai doll to rot in that house😢 I bet his spirit is not happy.
It is japan version of annabel😅
This genuinely makes me sad, what a beautiful place and can you imagine how much history is just thrown on the floor and forgotten about
I also love the narrating as you walk and can't do something, you hit it with the solid survival horror lines "Something's blocking it, can't go through here" 😂
"We could have just come up the driveway"..."we didn't have to climb that mountain"🤣
😂
Hindsight is always 20/20.

Timestamp 18:20- Curtain moves left to right on its own. Timestamp 41:12 - Black object on top shelf moves. Also noted the trajectory of the light bulb was at an angle. Nice investigation guys.
Wow good eyes!
The curtain wasn’t moving numbnuts. The camera was panning out so it gave the illusion
And the black thing didn’t move. It was just reflection of how smooth it is smh. People just wanna believe to feel something lmao
Just light/shadow/camera movement, nothing moved.
@@carlmarcks114 but yet you take your time to watch smh😂😂
I don't mind being one of the few Americans that know about the Fatal Frame series but it makes me happy to hear someone else talk about it
Have you played them all? I had to Google it and after this video, I'm going to check TH-cam for clips or game play
It’s heartbreaking to see such a lovely space in such ruin and disrepair. I know it’s completely different there culturally when it comes to deaths in a home and abandonment. As well as the spiritual side of things. It would make a lovely time capsule like museum since it has such an important tie to history. It’s so sad to me to see it just falling apart. But who knows how the family feels. I’m sure not as romantic as we do. For all we know those are memories they wish to leave behind. Peace to whatever energy is left there. Thanks for the risky walk through! It was fascinating!
Especially from a death of a child!
The way mother nature takes back what is rightfully hers is just gorgeous.
it's also OURS.
@@jameskirk2579If so we should be taking far better care of it!
Explorers say they just hate this phrase because it’s said all the time. But it is the truth!
@@jameskirk2579nope it's not ours. even we ourselves belong to mother nature
The storage at 10:31 is Disaster Supplies Warehouse that belongs to Tsurudachi Island Third Residents' Association, so people manage to use this place as an Evacuation point
Hi from Malaysia! My mom and grandma used to have those ‘wooden slippers’- we call them clogs-Chinese ones were painted red and the front was pointed down so you could roll them forward and could walk faster, even through wet areas like the market or a flooded street or a freshly washed and scrubbed kitchen. The ghosts in her old house definitely wore clogs-you could hear the very distinctive sound Cluk-cluk-cluk! even though by then no one used such clogs anymore in the 90s!
Thanks for the info!
We indonesian still have it in the very traditional house or mosque. That sound is creepy in silence
I can imagine how beautiful it was before it became abandoned. Truly creepy though. Enjoying the Japan series👏 looking forward for more:)
It really is! Stay tuned for more ;)
What a tragedy that this home has been left abandoned! It's beautiful! I would love to renovate it, even with a ghost or two!
I must again praise the quality of the audio foreword. Really clean and detailed at home on my hifi system.
Glad you like it!
At 22:21 you will notice that the steel door is closed and at 23:00 it was opened and closed by itself
That could be a continuity issue due to editing...
@@MissKrystalKnighthow?
Speaking of doors opening and closing on their own, right at the beginning 4:25 - 4:37 the white door opened and then closed loudly with no one touching it.
I am a Japanese who likes foreign architecture!However, it is also true that interesting buildings remain in Japan.
At the end of the 19th century, architecture such as rich houses and public facilities in Japan was influenced by Europe and other countries.
There were times when Western-style furniture was arranged in a Japanese-style building, but in richer houses, it was sometimes built by connecting the Japanese-style building with the Western-style building.
This is called the Japanese-Western eclectic
Japanese-style architecture has become more valuable now, but Japanese-style buildings at that time were really a kind of art work created by craftsmen.
Although weathering is several times faster than foreign stone houses, I want them to enjoy the richness and sense of loss.
Thank you！
What is the translation in f the picture text?
I think that place was absolutely beautiful! I mean, creepy AF, but still!! The wall artwork was stunning - the cranes, lotus's etc - WOW!!
The western style room really weirded me out. The fact it looks completely untouched, unlike the rest, was strange.
I think the smaller house may have been the gatehouse, due to its proximity to the front entrance of the property. But the way it looks, well, it's like the got up one morning and decided to just get dressed and walk out the front door, never to return.
Thanks for doing this video! It was really interesting, and can't wait to see the next one!!
😎👻👹🇦🇺
They sure do leave some important memories behind.. Those books relly caught my attention man
Yeah and the pictures...hard to understand why they left them there. Unless they really wanted to forget all of it or something.
From California but living in Ensenada, MX right now. Love your videos, Steve. So beautiful and wonderful cinematography,
Hello Silvia how are you doing today
Beautiful mansion, would have loved to have seen it when it was first built and all fixed up like it was back in the day.
Despite all the bulb crashing or door smashing, I find this house not creepy at all, I think it's beautiful, and a pity there's no effort to save the heritage in it, all those books
Every countries have their own hauntings. Not alot of people wants to deal with the super naturals. Stay safe and becareful as you and your friends explore those abandoned places that are haunted.
Well said
As an urban explorer myself I've found that humans are much scarier than apparitions.
True, the real hauntings are humans that leave scars behind.
watching from the Philippines 😊
Pls. pray before & after you enter abandoned/haunted houses
stay safe always 🙏💗
Oh this one was super creepy. the audio at 42:59 and 43:01 Sounds like a "EHH!" twice.
Yes, I hear that too. It's like an audio catch of EM's.
Hey Steve! Awesome video as always! The haunted explorations are so thrilling, and this spot in Japan is definitely one of the best yet. Can't wait to see more from this series! Sharing the video now, and fingers crossed for those 5000+ thumbs up so we can get that ghost hunt! Greetings from The Philippines! 🇵🇭👻🎉📹
Japan’s mountains and woods are full of mystery and magic…
The wooden slippers are called getas.
Oh i for got 😊😊from philippines..
This story gave me chills! The details were so vivid, I felt like I was there. You're a master of horror storytelling
Great place! Even if it wasn’t haunted 🙄 it’s scary going into any abandoned mansion on top of a mountain in the middle of nowhere in another country!! Thx Steve!
What the....!! I reviewed your video .. at the first that screw driver is really not there and after that noise it appears to be at the floor... 😨😨 Creepy
Absolutely beautiful! So sad to see the weather damage. Super creepy!
At 22:40 between the cracks of the ceiling wall looking upstairs you could see a shadow walking pass or someone there.
From 13:12 to 13:25 that screwdriver was not there that was creepy thinking this house is active
Thanks for going on this adventure, Steve.
Thank you so much Mr. Ronnin for sharing with us your travel tour from different abandoned houses, so interesting. I just pray you and your team will always be safe in every houses you visit. More power👍
0:28 look at the shadows for a while it's not matching at all 😮
I saw it
It’s a very beautiful and very big mansion for Japan , love how the design of the house is opening to the nature, lot of light, love the Japanese doll in the glass box, it’s a very beautiful mansion and private, really sad to see it got abandoned, this people are rich indeed sad to see they can’t take it with them when they are gone, thank you for sharing very interesting exposure indeed .
Thank you very much!
Finally someone exlore into this place, i am curious sincee long time ago when i played Fatal Frame. I can imagine how beautiful this place before the owner and the families abandoned this place.
You’re a true legend for this one!!! Thank you infinitely
You're welcome!
Sad that no one is there. This place has a lot of potential. It's really huge ; looking mystifying! A lot of trees outside are beautiful. I also like how architecture is embodied in building. And I like design inside in house : sofa for example. I think I need the same one )))
Hello Natalie how are you doing today
I can imagine and feel how have the family lived here..
This place has this sort of peaceful serenity... And nature is all surrounded.
Your videos are appreciated as they are, you don’t have to fabricate haunted incidents.
I know seriously
lol, I agree
Why do you assume he faked anything? He does not seem the dishonest sort to me.
@@bellaloco7910 I agree with you
@@bellaloco7910even satan, masquerading as an angel of light
This is probably one of the most unscripted video I’ve watched yet. You can tell these are their literal reactions. Really good
Of course! Thank you :) I will be always honest in my explores/ghost hunts!
Great explore! You guys are so brave to do this and share with us all!
Thanks for watching!
Evening Steve!
Claire from Northern Ireland checking in. Just found your channel very recently,love your content. As I'm an older Mum and Nan, I have to say you're very respectful ,which I like very much. I'm making my way through all your vlogs ATM. Here's a northern Ireland saying for you "Keep 'er lit lad!" Meaning keep doing what you're doing ,it's awesome!!! Luv it!!!! 💚
I believe that this mansion is very haunted! I am from Vinita Oklahoma. I really appreciate the video. Please stay safe!
Thank you! Will do!
Hello Connie how are you doing today
He was so excited throughout the video if he could see vintage videogames the kid is still alive inside us❤ it's such a precious mansion if could be preserved would have been so majestic to see the history through your eyes but nah they have abandoned such beautiful residents as well these kinds of properties i would have been ever greatful if i had that kind of property ❤ 🙂
Happy I pick up my phone. Sitting at work. Trying to watch your video. ❤❤❤
Wow! Thank you for sharing this mansion! I'd love to visit Japan and do some exploring there someday! Amazing video! I love abandoned places!
What a cool but creepy place. I love the artwork on the doors and walls.
37:40 and 37:43 what was the light at the far back in the room, I thought it might be the camera reflection, but why woukd it stop reflecting later?!
Did you notice the 'Pearl Harbour' room appeared to have metal shutters on at least some windows with what looks like numerous rivots. Seems like a pretty secure room at one point?
I noticed, those are serious _storm shutters_ you could seal out 150 mph winds or small missels.
Japan has the best hurricane (cyclone) shutters anywhere residential/commercial. I never understood why more coastal places don't copy them.
Magnificent and interesting exploration like your other videos, architecture and nature collides, thats cool!
I hope Japan gov or some one got a big influence can restore back this mansion, seriously I’m very like with historical things ! And about that mansion it’s really awesome amazing things ! ❤ viewers from Malaysia.
Watching u first x like n subscribe love ur videos ! Be safe n enjoy making amazing videos 👍
Shout out to Dave Abandoned World Explorer from UK joining Steve on the explore!
Your enthusiasm is infectious.
I'm from Australia and I exploring locations is a passion.
Unfortunately here when places are leaked they get trashed and graffitied -,-
I'm flying to Japan soon and starting to look into locations I hope to explore, its so beautiful to see abandoned places that have been treated with the respect they deserve.
cool nobody cares
@bryan3409 you cared enough to read, get bothered and even reply 😂
oOOoOoO@@ProsceniumAdelaide
Just remember what Steve said…There aren’t many abandoned homes there so maybe buildings will be??
I love what you do. I have been watching your videos for a while now. Very cool. 👍
Hello C how are you doing today
Thank you very much!
I have watched many abandoned videos from all U-Tube channels and what can stand out the most is how anyone can leave behind precious and priceless pictures!! Everything else can be replaced! So my guess is that they owed money to the bank or the IRS .But still leaving pictures is very hard to fathom!!!
The only reason why I wanna go to Japan is to explore all of their haunted buildings and places with hopes of not getting cursed 😌
I love how the house is old style Japanese as well as modern western. The combo of two is very nice the home is/was beautiful. It is a shame it deteriorated so bad. So much history. And it’s important to remember our history. Even the stuff we aren’t proud of.
It must have been a beautiful house, such a waste it wasn't maintained by the family. I love the balcony overlooking the city.
Great video!! You guys are very brave for going inside the mansion, considering it's bad reputation. Supposedly 7 people were murdered in that mansion via shinto ritual. Hopefully that story is NOT true. I was amazed at the amount of valuables left inside that are worth a lot of money like those Pokemon toys. Pokemon Cards, artwork, among other things. Estimated value of renovation/landscape renovation probably would be between $4 million- $7 million dollar budget. This mansion would be great on a HGTV show. However due to it's dark past, and hauntings I don't see it happening.
My 1st time watching from Oregon 🌲 USA love the old building's
2:25 benzene... gave my Father Parkinsons, as he was a painter and he used it alot in the 70s and 80s. If you use benzene Always use breathing, skin and eye protection👍 Many old timers like my father did not take the precautions they should have and are paying the price. ❤ Love your videos🙏🏼 Appreciate how respectful you guys are.❤
What a beautiful home it must have been and in such a beautiful, private setting. The screwdriver that was thrown to the floor looked like the one that was in the entryway on top of the cabinet holding the wooden slippers.
Glad you enjoyed it
Walking up there with just a backpack is bad enough. Imagine hauling construction materials up there to build this house.
I love this! I have the 1st and second game, and it really got me into the history/lore of this house.
Great video. I enjoyed the history of the home. Good job catching weird happenings.
Glad you enjoyed it
What a beautiful house. If I was rich , I would for sure restore it .
I always feel sad when a see videos like this one, because I can imagine how the mansion was at its prime with people, garden, workers, kids and even pets, some music playing softly on a radio while they drank tea, or watching the forest in autumn... but the pictures if the families are always what breaks my heart, call me sentimental, but it makes me sad to picture that family, happy, uoung, healthy and then come back to the elegant and lonely abandoned mansion.
Hey! I watched the other video that your boy made. Super cool house! If you listen just before the light drops you can hear an evil little laugh. Pretty sure it’s a demon. Thank you for doing these! So fun
me encanto tu contenido es posible que actives los substitulos en español seria aun mejor la experiencia mil gracias saludos desde Mexico
Amazing exploration, Steve. This mansion definitely gives me Fatal Frame vibes. Have you discovered what was written in Japanese on the hanging board at the entrance way? I’d love to know what is written~
The Kanji (Chinese writing) on the hallway is an old Chinese cursive calligraphy, read from right to left is '氣象萬千' 'qi xiang wan qian' meaning ' Majestic, grand, mighty, spectacular, changeful prospect and wonderful panorama.'
Correct, it’s definitely interesting, riddled with mysteries and adventure.
If Iwas the owner of the mansion and was planning on leaving and never returning, I would gift the place to a young family, on the condition that they live in it and maintain the property, to ensure that it lives on, its really sad to see the place in such a state it loooked like it was a lovely home.
28:35 * you have picked a power-up for the camera obscura *
Just discovered your videos....love them so im bingeing on your vides today! Love that you try to do history of the sites
The artwork on the panels are stunning! Too bad they were left behind.
I look at all these abandoned houses videos and I want to buy all of them so bad😂
I believe the first Fatal Frame was released in 2001, and Himuro Mansion was at least partially inspired by Himeji Castle.
This does have a lot of creepy Fatal Frame vibes though!!!
Loved your presentation 👏
From Florida
Seeing such a nice home abandoned is rather depressing. It's too bad it couldn't be turned into a remote hotel or something. But it's understandable. What amazes me is how the house isn't looted of all it's nice things.
Because the items are haunted and cursed
I didn't know that Himuro Mansion was inspired by a real building. I love the Fatal Frame games so this is kinda extra exciting for me.
A strange and unusual place. Thanks, Steve!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello Marilyn how are you doing today
I really enjoyed abandoned haunted Japanese mansion. I can’t believe the some of the spooky footage. That was amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Those spirits might have been the reasons the family left this beautiful spacious house and countryside. Be careful spirits can and will possessed humans in order to have a body?
Oh wait…FATAL FRAME?!?! Nooooope! That game along with the follow up is awesome but man the jump scares
I don't know if someone mentioned this in the comments, but I've heard that in Japan in order to officially "inherit" some property according to the will the successor should pay a pretty big percent of the cost of whatever is in question as a tax and many people just refuse to inherit what they are supposed to...
That main house got some scary evil vibe. Not like spirit ghost vibe its like strong EVIL vibe. I feel like something jump at your friend and IT hit the lightbulb 👻 watching from Philippines 😶🌫️
Enjoyed watching your blog Guys. liked done too.
Thanks so much
I love youre voice in each video you make it very interesting and fun to watch 😊
I cant imagine what would that look like before they abandoned it. It must be beautiful mansion.
Fatal Frame fan here✋
Amazing Abandoned Himuro Mansion The Most Haunted Mansion In Japan
Seeing that its basicly solid stone on the outside, it would be so nice if someone could buy and redo..its breathtaking..so could you imagine what it was originally like!?🌺🌿
from PH, and my first time in your channel and i'll be sure to watch the other videos as well.. So sad to see this beautiful mansion abandoned, i hope there are more info why it was abandoned, why the ones who inherited it didnt maintain it etc...
Even though it's rotting away I bet it was beautiful at one time. Funny how houses built over a hundred years ago are still strong, homes built in the last twenty years are demolished or unlivable.
Wow this to me is one of your best abandoned videos. I thought for a minute I was watching a movie ❤😂. And poor Dave 😂❤
Hello Pam how are you doing today
@@NelsonAnthony-xs7fd great and yourself?
You're the best! Haha thank you!
Thanks for the hardwork, Steve! Mabuhay!! ❤️❤️
I'm curious, aren't you guys afraid of ghosts? How about real people who are harmful? 😱😱😱😱
Something I've heard others say, and it always made sense to me: ghosts aren't nearly as dangerous as the living. So given the choice of a haunted house or dealing with some tweaker on the street, I'll take the house in an instant. 🙂
I'd be more afraid of reap people then a ghost any day
Anytime! And im not really afraid! Im def more worried about real people
@@SteveRonin appreciate you for noticing my comments, Steve. I agree, real people are more scary!!
