  1. The story begins in China. In the version told by Hokusai, the nine-tailed fox first appears there and possesses Daji, a concubine of King Zhou, the last ruler of the Shang dynasty. She enchants the king and brings on a reign of terror, and a rebellion ends the dynasty. Yin, in present-day Anyang, was the final Shang capital, so its ruins mark the legend's opening act. The tale does not name a spot; the pin marks Yinxu.

    場所の精度: The legend names only the Shang court, so the pin marks the Yin ruins at Anyang as its capital.

  2. In the otogizōshi, Tamamo-no-Mae is a courtesan under Emperor Konoe, who reigned from 1142 to 1155. Beautiful and able to answer any question, she is his favourite. Then the emperor falls gravely ill, and the astrologer Abe no Yasuchika exposes her as a fox spirit. The court sat in Heian-kyō (Kyoto) from 794, so the Heian Palace site stands for the setting.

    場所の精度: The legend does not say where in the court the scenes happen; the pin marks the Heian Palace site in Kyoto.

  3. Exposed, the fox flees to the plains of Nasu. The emperor sends Kazusa-no-suke and Miura-no-suke to kill her. At this shrine in Ōtawara, local tradition holds that she hid here before the punitive force finally brought her down. Centuries later the poet Bashō wrote in Oku no Hosomichi that he went to see the ancient grave of Tamamo-no-Mae at Nasu no Shinohara.

    場所の精度: The legend gives no exact spot for the hunt; this shrine is one traditional location.

  4. Her body becomes the Sesshō-seki, the Killing Stone, in the volcanic mountains of Nasu, where sulphurous hot springs are famous. The stone released poison gas and killed everything that touched it, until the monk Gennō Shinshō exorcised the repentant fox spirit and held a memorial service. On 5 March 2022 the stone split in two, most likely from natural weathering. Visit the site, but gas emissions can close it.

    訪問のヒント: The area is a tourist park, closed on days when volcanic gas emissions are high.

  5. Tradition says fragments of the Killing Stone flew to other places, and the legend did not end at Nasu. At Isasumi Shrine in Aizu, a sub-shrine to the Killing Stone was reestablished in 1841 to calm the stone's curse. The shared legend later linked two towns: Aizu-Misato and Nasu have been in exchange since 2008, and signed a friendship agreement in 2015.

    場所の精度: Tradition links this shrine to a fragment; it is not a proven part of the stone.

Benkei: From Gojō Bridge to Koromogawa

The legend of Benkei, Japan's warrior monk, runs from Gojō Bridge and Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto to the Ataka Barrier in Ishikawa and the Koromogawa battle site at Hiraizumi. Benkei is said to have lost a duel to the young Minamoto no Yoshitsune on a Kyoto bridge, then served him to the end. The route follows that story through five places, from the duel to the famous "Standing Death of Benkei". Most tales come from later writings, and no records from Benkei's own time survive.

Sansho the Bailiff: Naoetsu, Tango and Sado

Sansho the Bailiff (Sanshō Dayū) follows Anju and Zushiō, two noble children sold into slavery, from Naoetsu in Niigata to Tango in northern Kyoto and back to Sado Island. Mizoguchi's 1954 film and Mori Ōgai's 1915 story both retell an older oral tale. The route runs from the Naoetsu bridge where the family is torn apart, through Yura and the Tango Kokubunji to Kyoto and Sado, and ends on Mount Iwaki, where Anju's memory lives on. The legend is fictional, so most pins are approximate.

Tomoe Gozen: From Kiso to Awazu

Tomoe Gozen, the woman warrior of The Tale of the Heike, rode with Kiso Yoshinaka from the Kiso Valley through Kurikara Pass and the Uji River to the battle of Awazu, near Gichū-ji temple in Ōtsu. The route follows her legend from Shinano to Yoshinaka's last stand in 1184, then to the places that claim her afterlife as a nun. Her later life is uncertain, so the last stops rest on temple and local tradition.
