Japan’s Dark History: At Least 100k People Lost Their Lives in This Spot
Ok, I know this one is very different from what I normally do but it was honestly super fascinating and educational.
Come with me to see a lesser known area of Tokyo more off the beaten path and further away from the bustling tourist traps and bright lights of the city. Our destination is Suzugamori execution grounds, where we will learn about some of the dark history surrounding the Tokugawa shogunate, which used to govern Japan back in the day. The grounds are fascinating and disturbing…I’ve never experienced anything like it in my entire life. Afterwards we will check out Meiji University museum’s Criminal materials exhibit to further investigate some of the implements used to catch, punish, and eliminate prisoners in this dark tourism vlog.
All of the locations in this video are free for the public to visit and can be done in an afternoon if dark tourism interests you. As always, please be respectful and mindful of the painful history these locations carry whenever visiting.

you look so pretty here. There was no one else trying to learn about torture that day…
日本人です。鈴ヶ森貴遺跡についてウィキペディアで調べました。鈴ヶ森刑場は1651年‐1871年の220年間に「刑法」に則り死刑執行が行われた場所とのことでした。嫌な気持ちになりますね。しかし、どの資料に鈴ヶ森刑場で生きたまま焼かれたとか、磔で処刑したとか記載されているのですか？また4:58から唐突に白人宣教師の処刑、5:04からは映画『沈黙－サイレンス』の映画の空想場面が出てきますが、鈴ヶ森刑場とは無関係ですね。日本を貶めるプロパガンダは止めなさい。では貴方の母国、アメリカではどうでしょうか？ご存じの通り、貴方の先祖つまりイギリスを中心としたヨーロッパ白人は、1620年9月16日にメイフラワー号でケープコッドに着いて以来、先住民のアメリカ・インディアンを大虐殺し、民族浄化し、侵略し、土地を泥棒しました。貴方の先祖は先住民のアメリカ・インディアンを一体何人殺したのですか？最低でも2,000,000、最大で100,000,000と見積もられています。これは「刑法」に則った訳ではなく、「非合法の殺人」ですね。この点についても貴方は動画にすべきと思います。貴方は知っておいた方がよい事があります。ヨーロッパ白人はアフリカ・アジア・中南米・オーストラリア・ニュージーランド・カナダそして貴方の母国アメリカを軍隊で侵略する前に誰が来たのですか？商人やキリスト教の宣教師を装った、侵略を狙った諜報員かつ人身売買の誘拐犯でした。アメリカでは表向きの清教徒は、裏の顔は侵略を企んだ諜報員でした。日本人は早い時期にそのことを知っていたのです。
This is so sad! I didn't even know they would kill Christians? Rest in peace to all who was innocent and murdered.

bummer about the timings all in all though really informative and enjoyable thankyou for giving us all a longer glimpse into the Japan you experience
& no donations nor prayers were left by offended white girl
That's 4 to 200 years ago. Standard stuff over the world
Make no mistake… the heinous atrocities that these so called "christians" were doing in other Asian and South American nations at this time were horrors too brutal to even conceive. Japan was very aware of this and didnt allow the "christians"
a foothold in their own nation of Japan for their protection. And history has proved them right !
Oh my, im in Japan, gonna check this out
They continued killing well into 20th century in their empire invasions and wars.
Long ago Japanese people had superhuman powers such as 'allowing the tide to come in'. The moon and the sea bowed to their powers.
It gets worse. They don’t know the full story.
