All-Night Ghost Investigation Event Held at Bookstore on August 23, 2025

A Night to Remember: All-Night Ghost Investigation Event

On August 23, 2025, from 11:30 PM to 4:00 AM, the Kachimode Company is hosting a unique all-night ghost investigation event at Hakubundo Bookstore in Tanashi, Tokyo. This special occasion celebrates the reprinting of the horror book, "Things that Happen in Haunted Properties," penned by Kazuhiro Kodama, the CEO of Kachimode, a company specializing in investigating properties where accidents have occurred.

The Origin of Kachimode

Kachimode operates by conducting interior inspections of accident-prone properties, issuing a certificate affirming the absence of malicious entities if no abnormalities are found. This innovative service helps maintain real estate values, offering peace of mind to buyers. CEO Kazuhiro Kodama, with over 17 years of experience in real estate management and examining over 7,000 rooms, has turned his terrifying experiences into a gripping narrative in his book. The book was adapted into a drama aired on Fuji TV, leading to significant audience engagement resulting in its fourth edition reprint.

Experience the Thrill

In celebration of the reprint, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a ghost investigation simulation led by Kodama himself. During the event, he will share deeper insights and stories of accident-prone properties that were not included in the book. Participants will also use actual equipment employed in ghost investigations, making for an engaging and immersive experience.

The second part of the event promises even steeper thrills as Kodama shares real-life encounters that couldn't be shared in public settings, along with an interactive Q&A session.

Sleepover at the Bookstore

This event allows attendees to stay overnight in a bookstore—a rare occurrence—as the Hakubundo Tanashi branch is open 24 hours. Participants are encouraged to bring their own sleeping bags and mats to partake in this extraordinary sleepover.
