In the shadows of the Kagoshima Kanko Hotel, the air hangs heavy with the weight of forgotten whispers and the stench of regret, a relic of the post-war era where laughter once echoed but now languishes beneath layers of peeling paint. Guests, restless souls seeking solace, often find themselves ensnared in a chilling embrace of icy drafts that curl around their spines like fingers from the past, while the walls sigh with intermittent echoes of footsteps that belong to no living guest. Yet, amid the hushed murmurs of history, a darker truth clings to the air-those who dare linger too long soon discover the price of their curiosity, as the hotel itself seems to awaken, hungry for company in its spectral embrace.

The air within Ibusuki Hakusuikan is thick with an unsettling stillness, the steam from the onsen swirling like spectral fingers grasping at the skin of those who dare to linger too long. Guests often report bone-chilling drops in temperature as if unseen eyes are calculating their every move, and whispers of long-dead souls echo just beneath the surface of the water, promising both tranquility and dread. Here, in the shadowed corners of this century-old retreat, the past clings insistently, a warning that some presences are best left undisturbed.

In the shadows of Yunokawa Onsen Ryokan, the whispers of the past seep through the wooden beams like an unsettling fog, curling around guests as they glide towards the onsen's steamy embrace. At night, the air thickens with an unshakable chill, and spectral voices-faint, mournful, and strangely accusatory-echo off the stone walls, weaving a tapestry of dread that wraps tightly around the heart. Those who linger too long speak of a feeling akin to drowning, as if the water itself remembers every sorrowful tale ever told, and in this place, it seems even the silence bears witness to the uninvited guests who never checked out.
