Abandoned Himuro Mansion The Most Haunted Mansion In Japan (REAL LIFE FATAL FRAME)

Located in Wakayama Prefecture, This Western-style building is a deserted mansion with a fascinating history that is said to be the inspiration for Himuro Mansion from the game Fatal Frame. Although they have striking similarities such as being located on top of a mountain and involving hauntings. Its true origin sets it apart. Constructed in 1910, the opulent villa was the residence of Asajiro Yura, a prominent and affluent Japanese businessman. Born in 1878, Asajiro hailed from the Yura family, renowned textile dyers associated with the Kishu Tokugawa clan. After completing his education at Osaka University, he embarked on a venture in the dye industry, transforming his family's business.
As the world plunged into the chaos of World War I in 1914, Asajiro faced a critical predicament. With imports of dyestuffs from Germany halted due to the conflict, Japan's dye industry, heavily reliant on these supplies, faced peril. As the German Empire possessed exclusive manufacturing technology, the situation seemed dire. Yet, Asajiro rose to the challenge and became the first in Japan to successfully refine industrial-grade pure benzene, a significant breakthrough. He also ventured into producing phenol for disinfection and played a pivotal role in manufacturing Shimose gunpowder and set explosives during the Sino-Japanese War and World War II. Asajiro's expertise became instrumental in post-war Wakayama's chemical industry and fostered connections with military officials.
Rumors even suggested that Asajiro Yura's had gatherings which provided him with insider information on Pearl Harbor. Nevertheless, Asajiro passed away in 1964 at the age of 86, leaving behind a family legacy. The mansion remained within the Yura family's possession until the 1980s when they relocated after the tragic loss of one of their children to a severe illness. Since around 2005, the Mori no Hai Western-style building gradually fell into disuse and obscurity, its historical significance fading with time.
