Legend[]
Tsujigami dwells at intersections in Yakushima, Kagoshima, and Awaji Island in the Hyōgo Prefecture.
It was once believed that demons tend to dwell where roads intersect as crossroads served as a boundary between this world and the next. So when a house is built in front of a street where roads intersect, a Tsujigami will enter that house. So in those regions, houses were never built on those streets, because they believed that illnesses and misfortunes would occur in such homes. But if a home was built on the crossroads, erecting an Ishigantō stone on the road would ward off a Tsujigami.
