Since May, tourists have massively canceled their trips to Japan due to ominous predictions of a major catastrophic event within the next two months...
It was May 2025, when dozens of tourists canceled or postponed their trips to Japan, following a disturbing prophecy from a woman who has been described as "Japan's Baba Vanga."
Rio Tatsuki's "Prophecy"
Today's disaster has brought to light a so-called "prophecy" by Ryo Tatsuki, a Japanese manga artist who describes herself as a fortune teller. In her 1999 book "The Future I Saw," she wrote that "the seas around southern Japan will boil" in July 2025, despite the fact that the date she gave, which was July 5, is not accurate.
Although no major earthquake occurred that day, the impact of Enceladus in late July and the subsequent tsunami reignited the discussion on social media, with many people arguing that the warning was for the entire month and not necessarily for the date.
For example, thousands of Japanese people had canceled travel plans for July due to Tatsuki's predictions, with related hashtags like #July5Disaster going viral on Japanese social media as early as June.
Japanese Baba Vanga
In modern times, Ryo Tatsuki, who is known by many as the Japanese version of Baba Vanga, had warned of a natural phenomenon that, according to her, will occur in July 2025. As she stated, "a crack will open under the seabed between Japan and the Philippines, causing waves three times higher than those of the Tohoku earthquake," according to CNN.
"Bookings to Japan decreased by 50%"
As the date approached, thousands of travelers who had planned to vacation in Japan in July were canceling or postponing their trips. CN Yuen, executive director of travel agency WWPKG in Hong Kong, said bookings to Japan fell by 50% during the Easter period.
Concern was most intense in China and Hong Kong, Japan's second and fourth largest sources of tourists, while countries such as Thailand and Vietnam are also affected, where social media has been flooded with Tatsuki's predictions.
The situation worsened when the Chinese embassy in Tokyo issued an official warning to its citizens in late April, urging them to exercise caution when traveling, studying or purchasing real estate in Japan.
Japanese authorities are trying to contain the panic, describing the predictions as "unconfirmed rumors."
"It would be a serious problem if the spread of unscientific rumors affected tourism," said Miyagi Governor Yoshihiro Murai.
The most famous predictions of the "Japanese Baba Vanga"
Tatsuki's most famous and accurate prediction was that of the March 2011 earthquake, where Japan was hit by a 9.1 magnitude earthquake and a tsunami that killed more than 18,000 people.
Tatsuki is also said to have predicted:
the death of Freddie Mercury, whom he "saw" in a dream on November 24, 1976, exactly 15 years before the singer died on the same date.
Princess Diana's death through two different visions.
the 1995 Kobe earthquake, the second deadliest of the 20th century.
In an excerpt from her book, she wrote that "25 years from now, an unknown virus will emerge in 2020, peak in April, and reappear 10 years later," reinforcing the view that she had predicted the Covid-19 pandemic. /Adapted from Pamphlet/
