Myth and Legend: Supernatural Landmarks of Japan

Tono
Tono is a city that’s known for being superstitious, even within the already superstitious country of Japan. One of the most well-known creatures that are thought to call Tono their home are kappas, which you might have noticed were also in Harry Potter.
Kappas are imps that can be found around water, whose power comes from the water that they carry in their concave heads. If you want to overpower a kappa, just bow to them. They’ll be honor-bound to return the bow, and the water will fall out of their head, leaving them powerless.
