Japanese anime and manga often feature mysterious beings and stories deeply influenced by

the spirituality rooted in Japan's natural environment and history.

 

However, there are few comprehensive, multilingual resources that

introduce these elements.

 

Some of these stories evolve over time, adapting to modern contexts as "urban legends,"

living tales that continue to captivate audiences.

 

If more people could learn about these fascinating aspects, it might enhance their appreciation of Japanese content and inspire the creation of unique stories outside Japan.

 

Our goal is to share information in multiple languages about Japanese mythology, urban legends, history, culture, and even practical tips for those who wish to visit these places in person.

​

The title of this website, "KITSUNE," means "fox" in Japanese. In Japanese culture,

foxes are often regarded as mystical beings, sometimes as divine messengers and other times

as yokai—supernatural entities possessing extraordinary powers.

​

Combining the enchanting allure of foxes with the captivating charm of stories,

we named this site "KITSUNE TALES."

 

We hope this website brings joy to people around the world.
