A brief explanation on Hakkoda Mountains March, it was a training to prepare for the possible attack of Russia during 23th January 1902, which cost 199 soldiers death. The Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) had hidden many incidents of them being not prepared for the march, YES, the incidence is caused because of lack of preparation.
Now, to say the truth first, I will not want to think that what I have experienced in this story, will be 100% the spirits of the IJA soldiers.
Hakkoda Mountains are located south central of Aomori, and it is an active volcano. I traveled there just to see the summer face of the mountain, and I know that winter on that mountain is very dangerous. I have heard many news stories about accidents and the Death March Incident before-hand too. Yes, lots of urban legends about the spirits of the soldiers, curses, etc. I am not saying that I do not respect the spirits at the place, I am just unsure. Alright the intro is over, ask me anything in the comment.
I was traveling alone from the train station by a bus and there were lots of souvenir shops around selling those beautiful glass beads, I got a pearly white for Aleshanee's leash (sorry, it was just some extra information). After all this, I went straight to the mountains where the soldiers once marched during the winter in the past.
It was cloudy and the humidity was quite high. I rode the ropeway to the top. There is an observation deck on top of the mountain where we can see the view from the top of the mountain. I went to the boardwalk (tracking way?) but the entrance of the mountain was closed because of bears. So I just browsed around the hiking area. Out on top you will still see the mountains (like inside of the entrance), you will see traces of the nature and if there will be any bears, I bet you would see them quite clearly too. Very clearly from a distance I could see a few shades of a person walking and wondering inside.
The thing is when the area is closed, not even hunters or any workers will be allowed to go in the entrance unless they will re-open the area. The area was still closed. I look closer and I kind of see a person with grey coat just standing there not moving. Then I thought of uniforms of the IJA soldiers. But in my knowledge, the soldiers who went lost were not at the area where the boardwalk is, it is not at the area where now tourists always visit, it is at the area where we will see a statue and some grave stones of the soldiers.
Were there some people who went in accidentally or did I really see some spirits of the soldiers?

Perhaps so... But I haven't heard of any strange stories yet, other then the spirits of the soldiers... Yes, maybe there are curses and other spiritual activities 🤔 not sure yet.
