There's plenty of train stops in Japan that have a lot of allure outside transportation. such as an abandoned one that looks like an anime come to life or picturesque unmanned seaside station.

It's a bus stop that has become the talk of Twitter recently, however, as it's being deemed a cross between a hot spot for thrill seekers, Demon Slayer fans, and the "scariest bus stop" in the country!

Masazumi (@azuma_ne_zasa) recently took a trip to the city of Ichinoseki in Iwate prefecture to investigate and photograph the spooky bus stop. Like the many that have commented on their post, Masazumi was struck by how chilling and impactful the name of the bus stop is:

That's because the name of the lone and tattered bus stop is Onishigai Station (鬼死骸駅), which you can translate as "Demon Corpse Station"! Even more unsettling, the station gets its name from what used to be the nearby Onishigai-mura (鬼死骸村), or Demon Corpse Village.

While you won't find any demon corpses (at least not in plain sight) at the bus stop, it's name actually has an explanation. The area was indeed once named Onishigai village, and is said to be due to the fact that the famous warrior Sakanoue no Tamuramaro buried the decapitated body of a defeated oni (demon) general under the Oniishi (demon stone) at Kashima Shrine, which is in the area of where the village was located. So whether they know the story or not, the area can have the reputation of a demon burial ground.

The village area was renamed long ago, but you can still find traces of the old bone-chilling name on nearby telephone poles and the bus stop, which is no longer in order. One reason for this is the booming popularity of hit anime and manga Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, which locals hope to capitalize on in order to popularize the area and the legends attached to it. Fans of the anime sometimes even make pilgrimages to the area.

You can see the old name still on some signboards, as well as an explanatory display of the legend as well
