The Mystery Exhibit That Shocked Tokyo and Nagoya Is Coming to Osaka This Summer

The Mystery Exhibit That Shocked Tokyo and Nagoya Is Coming to Osaka This Summer

The uniquely themed exhibition “Yukuefumei-ten” (The Missing Persons Exhibition), centered around all things “disappeared,” is coming to Osaka this summer.
Running for 66 days from July 25 (Fri) to September 28 (Sun), 2025, the exhibit will be held in Honmachi—right in the heart of the city.

After drawing over 70,000 visitors in Tokyo and 30,000 in Nagoya, the exhibit now brings its eerie and fascinating presence to the Kansai region.


An Entire Exhibition Dedicated to "Fictional Disappearances"

Flyers, forgotten items, and urban legends…
At the venue, you’ll find chillingly realistic displays of “fictional disappearances” that never actually happened.

While everything is fictional, the eerie realism is sure to send chills down your spine.

“People are drawn to places where light doesn't reach.”

Step into a slightly disturbing, yet strangely addictive world.
