One of the most talked about mystical characters is Tsuchinoko - a snake-like species with a large round body!

A true Tsuchinoko has not been found even though many large-scale hunts were held in Japan to track its tracks. But the belief in its existence seems to be imprinted in Japanese minds.

It is mentioned so much that it is almost considered true. According to the description, it is less than 1 meter in size, the body looks like a snake but has a round body. The short tail makes this creature extremely bizarre!

They move in a deep, spasm-like pattern, with a whistling sound, sometimes depicted with small front legs, often appearing in remote mountain areas of Japan such as in the southwest or Kansai region and Shikoku.

The stories caught Tsuchinoko in Japan

In 1974, a Minamishigara Yuyama saw it for the first time on a narrow dirt road near Kanagawa Prefecture. As described, it is about 1 meter long, dark red, with a black tongue sticking out.

In 1975, many people in the high mountains of Kii Peninsula also said they saw a creature that resembled Tsuchinoko as described in the previous two cases. A man in the village also stumbled across it with a ferocious look that made him run away.

In ancient Japanese stories, Tsuchinoko sometimes appear like snakes and have no legs, sometimes with small legs in front, even they can be poisonous.

It is thought that they could be a Bipedidae-like creature that is often found in Mexico. Although Tsuchinoko is a legendary creature, many Japanese people still believe in their existence today.
