Did you know Japan has its own legendary horror manga? Unlike other works, GeGeGe no Kitaro tells the story of Kitaro, a ghost boy born in a graveyard, who encounters all sorts of supernatural creatures. Created by the famed Shigeru Mizuki, this iconic manga blends folklore and fantasy with a spooky twist.

If you’re ever in Japan, be sure to visit the Shigeru Mizuki Memorial House, where you can explore the fascinating life and success story of the creator behind Kitaro, along with an extensive collection of his works. While you’re there, take a stroll down Mizuki Shigeru Road, a street lined with 177 bronze statues of monsters, waiting to greet you whether it’s day or night.

It’s the perfect spot for any fan of the eerie and fantastic!
