Nagoro – The Village of Dolls is a small, remote village in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. As the population declined over the years, a local woman named Ayano Tsukimi began making life-sized dolls to represent the people who had left or passed away.
These dolls are placed around the village—at bus stops, in classrooms, in fields—making it look like the village is still full of life. However, there are now more dolls than people in Nagoro, with over 400 dolls and fewer than 30 residents.
The village has become famous for its eerie atmosphere, often described as one of the creepiest places in Japan.
