Why You Should Visit
For three days over Silver Week, Hanazono Rugby Stadium turns into a haunted attraction produced by Obaken, the Tokyo haunted-house maker. By day it is a walk-through haunted house inside the stadium with two storylines to choose from. By night comes "Hard Mission: Tasuki Oni", three sessions a day of 100 people each: wear a paper sash and complete missions while hiding from the creatures trying to cut it. There is also a headphone-based 3D sound horror experience (same-day tickets only). Advance tickets via TicketPay or furusato tax donation sites.
