[2026 Latest] Top 3 Ranking of Ghostly Rumors in Komiya, Fujimori, and Nagaike Parks

I compared the stories of the voices in Komiya Park, the air raid shelters in Fujimori Park, and the legend of Princess Joruri in Nagaike Park—three parks in Hachioji City—using both published articles and documents from the local government and park administrators. It's important to note that the mere mention of a legend doesn't mean that events or strange occurrences have been proven. I'll organize the information, separating the pond and park areas, to see how much of the story can be traced through the available documents.

Survey methods and evaluation criteria

On October 23, 2026, we compared secondary listings on the National Haunted Map with information provided by park managers and local governments. A match indicates that all compared claims are supported; a partial match indicates a mix of supported and unconfirmed claims; and a discrepancy indicates directly contradictory records. New facts represent important discoveries that change the understanding of the rumors, while "unmeasurable" indicates a lack of information for judgment. We compared the information using a total of 100 points: 30 points for source transparency, 25 points for historical context, 20 points for safety information, 15 points for information freshness, and 10 points for the transparency of the rumor's source. Fear and danger levels were not scored.

1st place: Nagaike Park | Unmeasurable (85 points)

The rumored details

The National Haunted Map introduces Nagaike Park by stating that "there is a legend that Jōrurihime threw herself into the pond carrying a statue of Yakushi Nyorai," and also mentions that "unexplained accidents and incidents frequently occur" in the surrounding area. We will compare the existence of the legend with the frequency and cause of modern events as separate claims.

Source of the rumor and date of verification

External pages expand on the story from the legend's plot to surrounding events, but they do not serve as evidence that these events occurred due to the same cause. The biographies of the people mentioned in the descriptions and the details of specific incidents are not considered to have been verified alongside the legendary figures.

• Nationwide Haunted Map - Nagaike Park(Verification Date: 2026-10-23) — Short excerpt from the article: There is a legend that Jōrurihime threw herself into Nagaike Pond carrying a statue of Yakushi Nyorai on her back / Unexplained accidents and incidents are occurring frequently.

Things that could be confirmed from official and primary source materials

The designated manager describes Nagaike Park as a nature conservation park centered around Nagaike and Tsukiike, which were formerly agricultural reservoirs, and retaining streams, wetlands, and mixed forests. They also mention that "the legend of Princess Joruri remains at Nagaike, which is the origin of the park's name." What we were able to confirm is that the manager is introducing the legend.

• Public/Administrative Information - Nagaike Park(Confirmed on 2026-10-23) — Nagaike Park is centered around "Nagaike" and "Tsukiike," which served as reservoirs for agricultural purposes.
  Surrounding these areas are streams, wetlands, and vast woodlands, creating a 20-hectare nature conservation park.
  The Nagaike Pond, from which the park gets its name, is also associated with the legend of Princess Jōruri.

Points of agreement/contradictions

The fact that the legend of Jōrurihime remains at Nagaike is consistent with the administrator's explanation. However, this guide does not corroborate the detailed plot of the introductory text. Regarding the explanation that accidents and incidents frequently occur in the surrounding area, we have not obtained independent data that matches the number of incidents, the period, or the scope of comparison.

The rumored atomic claim	Matching results	reason	Corresponding documents
There is a legend that Princess Jōruri threw herself into Nagaike Pond carrying a statue of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha) on her back.	Unconfirmed	The administrator mentions the existence of the legend of Jōrurihime, but we have not obtained any documents that confirm this specific storyline in the same context.	No official data available for direct comparison.
Unexplained accidents and incidents are occurring frequently.	Unconfirmed	The number of incidents, duration, scope, and comparison conditions are unknown, making it impossible to compare the frequency of surrounding events or their causes.	No official data available for direct comparison.

Alternative interpretation

Legends have different meanings depending on whether you read them as a source of information about the origins of a place or as a source of information to investigate the causes of events. Simply listing other events that occurred in the same place as a story does not determine a cause-and-effect relationship. Since there is no condition to compare the frequency of accidents, it is not possible to judge whether the number is higher than normal.

Scope and limitations of the investigation

The administrator's information refers to legendary figures and is not a document that certifies the biographies of the individuals or the scenes of the story as historical fact. The scope and frequency of events that are said to have occurred in the surrounding area are also unconfirmed. The representative map does not show routes to the legendary locations or the sites of individual events.

Verification result: Unmeasurable

The specific claims compared here are the detailed plot of the legend and the frequency of related events. While it can be confirmed that the administrator introduced the legend of Jōrurihime, the frequency of each fact and event in the plot is not supported. The judgment is that references to the legend should not be extended to corroborate modern-day supernatural occurrences or accidents.

Safety information and maps

The designated management company advises visitors to be careful of broken branches and fallen trees on the trails within the wooded area. Please do not descend into the ponds or wetlands, or attempt to replicate the actions described in the legends. Please check the trail restrictions and operating hours, and ensure that you do not disrupt nature conservation or interfere with other visitors' walks.

2nd Place: Komiya Park | Unmeasurable (78 points)

The rumored details

The National Haunted Map mentions a story about the Bentendo shrine in Komiya Park, stating that "a woman's voice can be heard late at night, and the ghostly shadow of a woman is said to appear." The observer of the voice and shadow, as well as the date and time, are not specified. The explanation that there is a body of water and an object of worship is not taken as direct evidence of the paranormal activity.

Source of the rumor and date of verification

The source is an external page that introduces multiple haunted locations, and we have not obtained any documents that initially recorded the stories or testimonies from those involved. The same introduction also mentions connections to locations in other prefectures, but this does not mean that the same phenomena occur there, as they only share similar objects of worship.

• National Haunted Map - Komiya Park(Verification Date: 2026-10-23) — Short excerpt from the posted text: A woman's voice can be heard late at night / The ghostly shadow of a woman appears

Things that could be confirmed from official and primary source materials

The Hachioji City spring guide describes Komiya Park as a metropolitan park with a mixed forest located in the southeastern part of the Kazumi Hills. While some of the spring water flows into Otani Benten Pond, it also clearly states that "the area around the pond is outside the park's boundaries." It is clear that the connection of the water systems and the fact that they are within the same park's management area are distinct.

• Public/Administrative Information - Komiya Park(Confirmed on 2026-10-23) — Komiya Park is a metropolitan park located in the southeastern part of the Kazumi Hills, featuring a vast mixed forest. The water that springs from the northwest side of the park has been selected as one of "Tokyo's 57 Famous Springs."
  This is a "valley head type" spring that emerges from a depression in the terrain. It flows through Hiyodori-zawa, then through Otani-zawa, which flows through a valley of mixed forest, and a portion of it flows into Otani Benten Pond.
  It is said that Otani Benten Pond was dug during a drought in the Tenmei era by Mr. Ogihara, the head of the Hachioji Senjin Doshin group, to create rice paddies and save the farmers. Although the area around the pond is outside the park boundaries, the natural environment is integrated with the park.

Points of agreement/contradictions

Regarding the rumored Bentendo shrine and the voice, the only information we could find in the municipal documents was descriptions of the spring, the pond, and the park's boundaries. We haven't been able to independently determine the correspondence between the two locations or the exact spot where the voice was heard. Treating the area around the pond as the same point within the park could lead to misinterpretations of the comparison scope.

The rumored atomic claim	Matching results	reason	Corresponding documents
I heard a woman's voice late at night.	Unconfirmed	There is no original record of the date, time, or location where the voice was heard, nor any recordings, making it impossible to compare it with the surrounding environment or the source of the sound.	No official data available for direct comparison.
A female ghost appears	Unconfirmed	There are no original observation records showing the shape or movement of the shadows, and it remains unconfirmed which locations correspond to the person described in the introductory text.	No official data available for direct comparison.

Alternative interpretation

Comparing voices requires recordings, distance, direction, and the surrounding environment. Regarding shadows, lighting and line of sight conditions are unknown. There are no records definitively stating that the sounds were caused by water or tree shadows, nor have we adopted explanations that infer the nature of the object of worship.

Scope and limitations of the investigation

We have not been able to confirm the specific boundaries, management divisions, or original records of the introductory text for the Bentendo temple. The water system description provided by the local government is insufficient to pinpoint the sighting location. The map of the park's representative location does not show routes or access points to the pond or religious facilities.

Verification result: Unmeasurable

The connections along the waterfront indicated by independent sources do not support the observation of a woman's voice or shadow. It is also uncertain to what extent the rumors and local government information refer to the same location. Due to insufficient data to make a comparable comparison, we have not determined whether or not supernatural phenomena occurred.

Document Quality Score

Source transparency	27/30	You can find information about the local government's springs, but the first record of the experience remains unconfirmed.
Historical and spatial context	18/25	While we can read descriptions of the water system and park area, the detailed history of the rumored facility remains unconfirmed.
Safety information	17/20	We can indicate the distinction between the pond and the walking paths outside the designated area, but the usage status of each facility on that day has not been confirmed.
Newness of information	13/15	I obtained the municipal documents, but I was unable to access the administrator's detailed page.
Transparency of the source of rumors	3/10	Although there are examples of secondary publications, no primary records that allow us to track the observer or the date and time have been obtained.
total	78/100	This is the overall quality of the materials. It does not represent the degree of truthfulness or danger associated with the supernatural phenomena.

Safety information and maps

Please check the management boundaries of the park paths and facilities, and do not enter ponds or religious sites assuming they are an extension of the park. Follow the fences and signs around the water, and refrain from calling out at night to test for a response. Even if you cannot access the administrator's website, do not rely solely on outdated information as user guides.

3rd place: Fujimori Park | Unmeasurable (73 points)

The rumored details

The description of Fujimori Park in the National Haunted Map mentions a story related to the construction work to fill in an air-raid shelter, stating that "a series of inexplicable accidents occurred once construction began, and the person in charge went missing." No documents are provided to identify the name of the construction work, the year it was carried out, or the person in charge, so we will compare this as a rumor published in the site, rather than a confirmed construction record.

Source of the rumor and date of verification

External descriptions include a continuous stream of information about the war damage, rumors about construction, and the writer's own impressions of the site. These are not all based on the same kind of evidence. The main text does not quote speculations as city records, nor does it repeat stories of accidents or missing persons as confirmed facts.

• Nationwide Haunted Map - Fujimori Park(Date confirmed: 2026-10-23) — Short excerpt from the article: A series of inexplicable accidents occurred / The person in charge also went missing.

Things that could be confirmed from official and primary source materials

Hachioji City introduces Fujimori Park as one of its representative parks, providing information on facilities such as a baseball field, athletics track, outdoor tennis courts, and a children's playground. It also includes information on the park's location in Daimachi 2-chome, as well as parking and restroom availability. The retrieved page is a current facility guide and does not represent the construction history of the air raid shelter.

• Official/Administrative Information - Fujimori Park(Confirmed on 2026-10-23) — This is a representative park in Hachioji City, featuring a baseball field, athletics track, six outdoor tennis courts, and a children's playground. The city gymnasium is also located next door. Many people visit throughout the year, with cherry blossoms blooming in spring and a fireworks display held in summer.

Points of agreement/contradictions

It's impossible to know how past underground facilities were treated based on the current sports facilities. To compare the unusual occurrences during construction mentioned in the description, records specifying the construction and time period are needed. The fact that it's not mentioned in the local government's park guide doesn't mean that there were no construction or accidents.

The rumored atomic claim	Matching results	reason	Corresponding documents
A series of inexplicable accidents occurred.	Unconfirmed	We do not have records linking the names and dates of construction projects with the nature and frequency of accidents, making it impossible to compare continuity or causes.	No official data available for direct comparison.
The person in charge has also gone missing.	Unconfirmed	We have not obtained any documents that identify the person in charge or the construction project in question, nor any official records confirming the incident of the person being missing.	No official data available for direct comparison.

Alternative interpretation

The description includes speculation about the appearance of the underground facilities and the history of their construction. The removal of the facilities, covering them with soil, and repurposing them for other uses are all separate events, but we have not yet obtained any documents to determine which of these occurred. We have avoided creating any information about the underground conditions or the cause of the strange occurrences based on the current state of the ground.

Scope and limitations of the investigation

We are unable to confirm the name of the construction project, the year it was implemented, the design drawings, or any accident records. It is also impossible to identify the events mentioned in the description solely from the park's overall location. The map provided does not indicate the location, existence, or access permits for any underground facilities.

Verification result: Unmeasurable

There are no construction documents or independent records that can be directly compared to the core claims of an accident during construction and the disappearance of the person in charge. The current facility guide neither confirms nor refutes the rumors. We have kept the background story of war damage and the unconfirmed individual incidents separate.

Document Quality Score

Source transparency	26/30	I can read the facility guide and external information provided by the local government, but I haven't been able to obtain the rumored construction records.
Historical and spatial context	13/25	While the current use of the underground facility is known, we are unable to confirm its maintenance history.

total	73/100	This is the overall quality of the materials. It does not represent the degree of truthfulness or danger associated with the supernatural phenomena.

Safety information and maps

Please be careful not to obstruct those using the sports facilities or children's play areas. Avoid actions such as digging into slopes to find underground facilities, climbing over fences, or entering behind facilities. Prioritize the operating hours for each facility as announced by the city and the signs posted on-site.

What I learned by crossing locations

In Komiya, the focus of the comparison is on the waterfront and park areas; in Fujimori, on the specific history of the construction; and in Nagaike, on the difference between the legend and historical facts. While references to the legend at Nagaike were found in the administrator's documents, they do not explain the cause of the accident. Instead of grouping the three locations together as evidence of the same paranormal phenomenon, the remaining unanswered questions for each story were separated.

summary

The park administrators also mention the legend of Jōrurihime that remains at Nagaike Pond. Regarding the voice of Komiya and the unusual occurrences during the construction at Fujimori, we have not obtained independent sources to support either. The existence of legends, descriptions of the land, and individual observations are different types of information. Please refer to the park's current usage guidelines while maintaining this distinction.

FAQ

Has the story of Princess Jōruri been confirmed as historical fact?

What I confirmed is that the administrator also mentions that the legend of Jōrurihime remains in Nagaike. This does not mean that the events of the story or the biographies of the characters have been verified as historical fact.

Is Otani Benten Pond located within the grounds of Komiya Park?

The Hachioji City spring water guide states that the area around the pond is outside the park boundaries. Please distinguish between the integration of the natural environment and the fact that the management areas are the same.

Is this a map to get to the air raid shelter in Fujimori Park?

No. This is a representative location for the entire park. It is not a map that confirms the existence, location, or accessibility of air raid shelters.
