In this episode of Supernatural Japan, we explore the haunting legacy of Taira no Masakado, the legendary 10th-century samurai whose violent death gave rise to one of Japan's most enduring ghost stories. Discover the history behind his rebellion, the terrifying curses linked to his restless spirit, and why his grave in the heart of Tokyo is still respected—and feared—by politicians, business leaders, and locals alike. Is Masakado's ghost still watching over Japan's capital?
