What is Kimon (鬼門)?

“Literally "demon gate". Derives from Chinese texts and the belief system of 陰陽道 (Onmyōdō), wherein the northeast is considered to be the direction in which negative energy concentrates and demons come and go (wikitionary).”

Below is a ritual an anonymous person posted on 2 chan which is supposed to open a Kimon. 

But it can only be done if you are in Tokyo so I highly recommend that you do it while you’re here (just kidding. Don’t do it🤣)

How to Open a Kimon

Try this only if you get really fed up with your life. 

1️⃣ Go to Akihabara station, take a train on Hibiya Line, and get off at Kayabachō station. Then walk down the platform towards Hatchōbori, until you see a pile of salt under an iron fence. Scatter the salt by kicking it.

2️⃣Take a train on Tōzai Line, get off at Takada-no-Baba station, walk down the platform towards Seibu Shinjuku Line, and you will see a pile of salt under an iron fence. Kick it and let it scatter.

3️⃣Take a train on Tōzai Line again and get off at Kayabachō station, exit the ticket gate, and scatter 10 grains of rice at the bottom of the staircase to 4a Exit. 

4️⃣In Kayabachō station, take a train on Hibiya Line, get off at Tukiji station, walk down the platform towards Tukiji-Hongan-ji, and you will see a pile of salt under an iron fence. Kick it to scatter it. 

5️⃣Stay on a train on Hibiya Line, close your eyes, and think about what you would like to do the most, with your hands clasped together.

I’ve finished work and have nothing better to do, so I’m trying >>35 for fun. 

And the pile of salt is actually there! I’m so shocked. 

What’s this salt for? Can anyone tell me?

The news thread below is a completely different thread from the one above, and it was posted on 2 chan on the following day:

“On the morning of the 11th, a young man was found dead at the bottom of a swimming pool inside a house owned by a company president, in Meguro ward, Tokyo. 

The police is now investigating to determine whether there has been a foul play.

Around 6.20 am., a woman, a resident of the house, called 110, saying “a young man is lying inside the swimming pool in our garden, bleeding, and he appears to be dead.”

An officer from NPA rushed to the scene, and found a man in white shirt lying face down at the bottom of a swimming pool without water. He was soon confirmed dead. 

The man was not a resident of the house, and the police is currently doing their best to identify him, as well as discover how he came to his demise.

The house is located within a quiet residential area about 500 meters from Naka-Meguro station, on Tōkyū-Tōyoko Line, and it is an area full of large mansions.”

The young man in the news died in a stranger’s house, inside a swimming pool without water. 

What was he doing there? 

This news drew the attention of the people from the first thread, because it happened on the day after 49 posted his reply saying he tried the ritual. 

On top of that, all those stations listed in the ritual are located at northeast from Naka-Meguro station. 

Perhaps this deceased young man was 49 and succeeded in opening a Kimon, unwittingly becoming a victim to some evil forces…

I have seen a post on a Japanese blog where a person tried to do this ritual, but he couldn’t find any iron fences or piles of salt in any of the places mentioned above!

So perhaps it was a one time thing, and whoever originally posted the ritual may have tried to lure a random person into doing it, which led to the very unfortunate outcome 😱
