As the mainstay of the currently popular “Demon Slayer Economy” in Japan, the popularity of “Demon Slayer Blade” remains feverish. In addition to all kinds of ghostbusters products, now there is a “Ghostbusters Trip”: Many Japanese netizens organize some popular places related to the ghostbuster sword in an itinerary to make a pilgrimage.
Kamon Shrine
Of course, the ghost story is fictional, but it doesn’t mean that netizens can’t make pilgrimages to real attractions. For example, the Kamado Shrine in Dazaifu City, Fukuoka, is considered a “holy place” by fans due to the same name as the protagonist Tanjiro. Since the film was released, the shrine has been filled with worshipers every day.
Devil’s Sword Stone
However, the other “Sho Hachiman Shrine” in the southern Kokura district of Kitakyushu City is also another popular shrine for ghosts.
Remember when the protagonist Tanjirou was practicing swordsmanship in the early days of the Demon Slayer Blade story, there was a scene where a stone bigger than him was cut into pieces?
At the Shohachiman shrine, there is also a stone called “Suzuki”, which looks like a large stone that has been split in two. It is said to have formed during the eruption of Mount Aso about 70,000 years ago. If you pose in front of the rock and swing your sword down, you can reproduce the famous scene.
There are also netizens who will dress up as beans:
Unlimited train
Next is Ashiyacho in Fukuoka City.
There is a steam train in the local residents’ park, with the license plate “Infinite” on it, which only responds to the theme of the infinity train in the movie version of Ghost Slayer.
The infinity train in the movie is the “8620” steam train that served about 50 years ago, and the train in this park is of the same model. According to local staff in charge of park maintenance and administration, the “infinity” sign was hung to please the children due to the ghost extinction movies theme.
And this train is genuine, because the park used to be a railway station of the National Railways of Japan, and the train in charge of transporting the coal passed through the area. Later in 1976, to commemorate the history of the city, the Japan National Railway Corporation donated this steam train for display in the park.
Courier raven
In Ghost Slayer, the raven is used by the protagonists to communicate.
At the Okada Shrine in Yawata Nishi District, Kitakyushu City, there is also a three-legged “Yatawu” statue in the shape of a raven, which has also become a theme.
There is also a photo studio here at the shrine, offering free ghost character costumes for children to go to Japan’s “753” festival (Japanese children go on November 15 when they are three, five and seven years old). sanctuary, bless your healthy growth) When you come to the sanctuary, you can take photos here to celebrate.
The Okada Shrine staff stated that since the Demon Slaying Sword became popular, the number of people who came to worship at the shrine suddenly increased, and they would take pictures or touch the shrine here.
