Yotsuya Kaidan sites refer collectively to streets, neighborhoods, and performing-arts locales in the Yotsuya district of Tokyo that are associated in popular and scholarly discourse with the famous Yotsuya Kaidan revenant/ghost story. The supplied sources do not provide a construction history, ownership details, or precise coordinates for individual sites; rather, they situate Yotsuya Kaidan as part of Tokyo's broader spectral-cultural landscape. Academic treatments frame Yotsuya Kaidan and similar tales as examples of 'revenant narratives' and 'spectral geography,' showing how ghost stories become embedded in urban memory and public space. Popular-press listicles include Yotsuya-related items among Tokyo's haunted spots, indicating ongoing contemporary visibility within ghost-tour and folklore circuits, though the excerpts do not give specific eyewitness accounts or sensory descriptions tied to particular addresses.
