In this article, we will see real events that have become great mysteries in Japan. Unlike urban legends, these are things that really exist and not stories told about monsters and demons. In Japan, we have historical events, pyramids, and many other mysteries to discuss in this article.

THE MYSTERIOUS Submerged Pyramids OF Japan

One of the greatest mysteries of Japan is found on the island called Yonaguni and was discovered by the Japanese diver named Kihachiko Aratake in 1995, where researchers claim that the pyramids may be over 11,000 years old.

At the bottom of the sea off the island of Yonaguni lies a set of megalithic ruins covering a total of 28 square kilometers. One of the monuments is 600 feet wide and 90 feet high, totaling over 27 meters in height and 182 meters in width.

Some claim that these pyramids are from a civilization as ancient as Sumer, Egypt, India, or China. Some have found similarities to the ziggurats of Mesopotamia, while others even claim it to be Atlantis, Lemuria, or Mu. What do you think of this mystery of Japan?

The Devil’s Sea – Dragon Triangle

Ma no Umi [魔の海] is a Japanese version of the Bermuda Triangle, a mysterious area in the sea of Japan where numerous disappearances of ships and airplanes have occurred, even more than in the Bermuda Triangle.

In addition to the missing ships, ghost ships and unidentified boats can be found. This area is located just 100km south of Tokyo around the island of Miyake. The region reaches Guam and the Mariana Islands, totaling over a million square meters.

The greatest and real mysteries of Japan

Between 1952 and 1954, Japan lost five military vessels with a total of 700 people in the Devil’s Sea, shortly after losing another 100 scientists who were sent for an investigation.

Interestingly, the Devil’s Sea is at the same latitude as the Bermuda Triangle, leading researchers to believe there may be some connection or even a wormhole in the area.

The Japanese do not believe that the Devil’s Sea is the most dangerous waters in Japan, attributing these tragedies to natural disasters, volcanoes, and other non-paranormal things. And you? What do you think of the Devil’s Sea? Is it a great mystery of Japan?

The mystery behind the Honno-ji incident

The famous Honno-ji incident during the Sengoku period, responsible for delaying the unification of Japan by 20 years. This is one of the most popular stories in Japan, but it also generates discussions and mysteries to this day.

People keep trying to understand the motivation behind the assassination of the great Oda Nobunaga that occurred in 1582. The assassin Akechi Mitsuhide was one of Oda Nobunaga’s trusted and esteemed generals, and the location of the betrayal was filled with friends and allies, exuding security.

The greatest and real mysteries of Japan

It is not known for sure why Mitsuhide betrayed Nobunaga. Some believe the cause was personal resentment, fear of revolution, ambition to conquer Japan, or he simply wanted to protect the Imperial Court of Japan. In any case, the motive remains a mystery, as he was killed 13 days later by allies of Oda Nobunaga.
