Asakusa Hanayashiki's "Asakusa Kaien Yako" Extended into November, Featuring New Yokai "Hitokui Turbo Baba"

Extended into November Due to Popular Demand

The nighttime horror event "Asakusa Kaien Yako," currently being held at Asakusa Hanayashiki, Japan's oldest amusement park, has been extended with additional dates in November 2026 in response to an overwhelming response. It was originally scheduled to run through Friday, October 30. The production partner is S.I.P.H Entertainment Japan Co., Ltd.

Set throughout Hanayashiki after closing time, this immersive horror event has you run from the spirits of the dead, solve puzzles by collecting six seals scattered around the park, and finally get swept up in excitement with music and dance.

A New Yokai: "Hitokui Turbo Baba"

The additional November dates introduce a new character, "Hitokui Turbo Baba," an old woman in a white kimono with long white hair. She approaches participants in a seemingly kind manner, but her true identity is a man-eating yokai, and it is said that if you try to run away, she will chase after you at astonishing speed.

Theme Song "Kotodama ONDO"

To the original theme song "Kotodama ONDO" by iamSHUM × Meruna, the spirits of the dead perform in the live entertainment show "Kaien Fes," and participants dance along in the "Kaien Dance."
