Uncanny Japan - Japanese Folklore, Folktales, Myths and Language

A captivating peek into the folklore and culture of Japan. It’s a great listen for work :)

I’ve loved this podcast since middle school, and it’s a lovely backdrop to game to! If possible, an episode on horses and horse lore in Japan would be really appreciated! Keep up the awesome work! xo

I thought it best to start with the 1st episode but was wrong. I got tired of hearing the history of the narrator and podcast and moved on. I grew impatient waiting on a actual story. 1st episode should be called “Prologue” or “Introduction” something of that nature. Maybe I will try another episode when I have time and update this review.

I’ve been a resident of Japan for many years and only recently discovered Uncanny Japan and have been binge listening ever since. Though I’m not usually a consumer of folklore stories, I find this podcast very interesting and told in a very entertaining way.
