Nagagusuku hotel ruins

The nagagusuku hotel is an abandoned and incomplete hotel in Okinawa, Japan. The incomplete hotel is located only 50m away from the Nakagusuku castle which is a tourist attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

An urban legend associated with the building explains why the hotel is incomplete and the construction was halted after millions were spent on the hotel.

According to the legend, a wealthy developer bought the land in order to take advantage of the tourists that visit the castle. The location was picturesque as both the Pacific Ocean as the east Chinese sea were visible. However, the land was believed to be a burial ground consisting of the graves from the distant past.

The locals as well as an old monk tried to warn the owner to not build a hotel there as the land was sacred and building the hotel would befoul the land. The owner however ignored all the warnings and started the construction. After the construction started many incidents started happening, many workers had unfortunate accidents and died while working there. A lot of workers quit their jobs after hearing these stories and witnessing the deaths of the fellow workers. The owner had already spent millions of dollars on construction, so he decided to continue the construction and before that he would prove everything as a hoax by staying at the construction site every night till the hotel is completed. Within the first three nights of staying there, the owner was driven insane by something on the land and it is still unclear whether he was admitted in a mental asylum or he committed suicide. The hotel still stands incomplete and would soon be demolished.
