>The Ghost Incident at Manza Kogen Hotel
>The Manza Kogen Hotel, located near Kusatsu-Shirane Mountain and built over ancient hot springs, holds a strange history that is said to linger even today. This land was once part of a small, isolated village where people revered the mountain as sacred and worshipped the hot springs as if they were gods. According to local legend, when the mountain showed signs of unrest, the villagers would perform rituals near the hot springs to try to calm its powers.
>One particularly well-known tale speaks of a young woman who was taken to the hot springs in the dead of winter and sacrificed to pacify the volcanic activity. After that night, misfortune befell the village: the mountain erupted violently, toxic smoke spread over the land, and the villagers were forced to abandon their home and flee.
>Years later, when the hotel was constructed, some workers reported strange occurrences, such as tools mysteriously disappearing or eerie sounds. However, these incidents were often attributed to the harsh natural environment. Yet over the years, some hotel guests have reported feeling a chilling presence around the hot springs at night, and a few have even claimed to see a young girl with long black hair standing by the water’s edge.
>The hotel remains a popular destination, though locals continue to pass down these old stories. Visitors are sometimes advised to show respect for the legends and to avoid approaching the hot springs after dark.
