Customer Reviews
I love this!
For a long time I’ve loved the Japanese culture such as the anime’s, kimonos,food, and horror! And I’ve been listening to your podcast for a year now and I’m obsessed! Keep up the good work!👻🇯🇵
Great podcast
I love this podcast, super interesting to hear these Japanese horror stories and the narration is solid. I look forward to each new episode.
Good podcast
Clearly a lot of effort goes into making it and there a lot of unique stories or unknown to westerners at least. Plus context and other helpful cultural insights are often provided.
