Discover the Authentic Settings That Brought Ghost of Yōtei to Life
The Ghost of Yōtei Hokkaido Tour promises a deep dive into the rich cultural and historical backdrop that shaped the game’s environment. From the Edo-period villages to the dramatic volcanic landscapes, the tour will cover various iconic locations that breathe life into the game.
Noboribetsu Date Jidai Mura
Step back in time to the Edo period at Noboribetsu Date Jidai Mura, a living history village in Hokkaido. Here, visitors can engage in traditional Japanese activities such as archery and shuriken tossing. For those intrigued by the samurai era, there’s an opportunity to dress as a samurai and explore the Katana Museum, which is a recreation of the residence of the famous samurai, Katakura Kojuro. The Fire Watchtower offers a unique vantage point to appreciate the lifestyle of the Edo era.
Noboribetsu Jigokudani (Hell Valley)
The dramatic landscape of Noboribetsu Jigokudani, also known as Hell Valley, is a sight to behold. This volcanic terrain, characterized by its steaming vents and jagged cliffs, directly inspired the game’s mist-shrouded fortresses and Oni domains. The haunting legends of demons and the numerous Oni statues scattered throughout the valley have significantly influenced the game’s mythical themes and atmosphere.
Lake Toya
Lake Toya, with its serene waters and rich onsen culture, served as a muse for the game’s tranquil hot spring scenes. Surrounded by the majestic Mount Yōtei, Lake Toya offers a peaceful escape where visitors can unwind, soak in the hot springs, and absorb the stunning natural beauty.
Mount Yōtei
Known as "the Female Mountain" by the Ainu people, Mount Yōtei is a symbolic representation of Hokkaido and plays a central role in the game’s landscape. Participants will have the chance to enjoy breathtaking views from Nakayama Pass and Lake Hill Farm, experiencing firsthand the mountain that anchors the game’s story and scenery.
