Become A Patron
If you'd like to support Uncanny Japan, you can do so by becoming a patron for as little as $2 a month.

But for $5 a month you'll get a monthly recorded Bedtime Story, which will be an obscure folktale or legend or some other unique and interesting content that I find, translate, and record. There are already dozens of stories up on past posts for you to listen to when you join. I also post the occasional recipe, binaurally recorded soundscape, or video, too.

$15 dollar a month patrons get handmade postcards on top of $5 perks.

$30 dollar a month patrons (after six months) receive a goodie envelope with snacks and stationary items and, of course, $5 extra content.

$50 dollar a month patrons get everything in lower tiers, stories, soundscapes, monthly postcard, and the goodie envelope (after six months).

You can also make a custom pledge and we can decide on what extra content you'd like to receive.

All tiers get patreon-only Discord benefits.

About The Uncanny Japan Podcast

Speculative fiction writer, long-term resident of Japan and Bram Stoker Award finalist Thersa Matsuura explores all that is weird from old Japan—strange superstitions, folktales, cultural oddities, and interesting language quirks. These are little treasures she digs up while doing research for her writing.
