'Ghost tours' by taxi become popular in Japan to cool off on hot summer nights

The Japan Meteorological Agency's forecast that this summer will also be hot across the country is leading people to seek alternative ways to cool off.

In this context, a taxi company organizing special tours for those who want to cool down spiritually in the summer months is attracting attention.

Yokohama-based Sanwa Kotsu taxi company is on the agenda with the 'Ghost Points Pilgrimage Tour' organized to share the supernatural fears its personnel feel while on the job with customers.

Held for the 12th time this year and becoming a traditional event, it started to attract great interest, and it was decided to organize similar organizations in other cities such as Niigata, Shizuoka and Hiroshima this summer.
