Jidaiya will rent out its traditional Japanese studio Edokura in Asakusa for a limited 20-day ghost story event starting August 21, 2026. The event features the Japanese horror VR content "Shiraisan: Curse of Death's Visit," produced by Shochiku with VR production by Dynamo Amusement. Attendees receive a limited-edition fan featuring mascot dog Chiyo.
Jidaiya, the Asakusa operator of sightseeing rickshaws and cultural experiences, is turning its traditional studio Edokura into a private VR ghost story venue for 20 days starting Friday, August 21, 2026. The attraction runs through September 9 and uses "Shiraisan: Curse of Death's Visit," a Japanese horror VR work produced by Shochiku with VR production by Dynamo Amusement, based on the film "Shiraisan" directed by Hirotaka Adachi.
The roughly 10-minute experience, including an introduction video, is set in the silence of the traditional warehouse-style space. Reservations are required by phone or email before 5:00 PM the day prior, since Edokura also serves other cultural programs. Each participant receives a limited-quantity fan illustrated with Jidaiya's mascot dog Chiyo, and the company notes a discount is available when paired with its rickshaw sightseeing service.
