Unveiling ‘Oshigurui’: Nagasaki’s First Horror House

This summer, a new terrifying attraction is set to take over the Nagasaki Stadium City. Titled ‘Oshigurui’, this horror house is a brainchild of Michael T. Yamaguchi, a renowned figure in the world of horror entertainment. Known for blending horror with social contribution, Yamaguchi's work is recognized both domestically and internationally, having transformed various spaces into immersive horror experiences.

‘Oshigurui’, meaning ‘to be possessed by your obsession’, promises an adrenaline-fueled experience that merges horror with idol culture. This attraction is unique as it focuses not just on jump scares, but an entire narrative featuring horror idol group Akushukai's spin-off story, including its original character 'Girochi' who will interact with guests and haunt them throughout their journey.

Michael T. Yamaguchi, who hails from Nagasaki, has been pivotal in creating a vibrant horror culture through his past projects. His efforts in producing iconic haunted houses have made him a local legend. He has also added his unique touch by working in major Hollywood projects, ensuring that his creations resonate well beyond Japanese borders.

The Concept of ‘Oshigurui’

The plot leads participants through a chilling theme revolving around a secret idol event featuring a mysterious new member. Using a combination of storytelling and immersive theatrics, guests will navigate through a space filled with hidden surprises and unnerving encounters, creating an atmosphere that’s both thrilling and engaging. The event encourages attendees to step into a realm of nightmares for a chance to deepen their fandom—making the horror experience multi-dimensional, unlike traditional haunted houses.

This attraction will operate from July 18 to August 31, 2026, at the specially designated venue in Nagasaki Stadium City. The venue will cater to all types of thrill-seekers by offering two distinct modes:
1. Normal Yamikawa Mode - ideal for families and those who are not easily frightened.
2. Fanatic Nightmare Mode - perfect for seasoned horror aficionados seeking intense thrills.

Special Events and Interactions

During the event's run, Michael T. Yamaguchi will make personal appearances for meet-and-greets, allowing fans to engage directly with the creator of this horror spectacle. This experience not only focuses on fear but also incorporates elements of Japanese culture with the hope to promote local economic revitalization. Yamaguchi expressed: “I am thrilled to share this unique horror attraction in Nagasaki, a city that has historically influenced my creative journey.”

With ticket prices set at 1,500 yen and various discounts available for pairs and shopping incentives within the stadium, 'Oshigurui' aims to be approachable for everyone.
