‘New Baba Vanga’ predicts a catastrophic event within two months.
A woman known as Japan’s version of Baba Vanga has shared a chilling forecast for July. Her prediction is making many rethink their vacation plans.
Baba Vanga, the famous Bulgarian mystic, died in 1996. She gained fame for her often grim but accurate predictions. She foresaw events like Princess Diana’s death and the 9/11 attacks.
Now, Ryo Tatsuki has emerged as a similar figure in Japan. She has been steadily predicting the future with striking consistency.
In 1999, Tatsuki, a manga artist, published The Future I Saw. The book reveals several visions she claimed to have had—many of which turned out to be true.
One of her most famous predictions was the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan’s Tohoku region in March 2011. This disaster took over 18,000 lives.
Tatsuki is also believed to have predicted the deaths of Freddie Mercury and the 1995 Kobe earthquake.
Her book was re-released as a “complete edition” in 2021, where she warned of another major disaster likely hitting Japan on July 5, 2025.
CNN reports that Tatsuki warned of a fissure forming under the sea between Japan and the Philippines. This could trigger waves three times stronger than those from the Tohoku earthquake.
Her popular book also describes Japan’s oceans turning “boiling,” which some interpret as a sign of an underwater volcanic eruption.
According to The Macao News, the predicted disaster is expected to hit a diamond-shaped area connecting Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Tatsuki’s forecast is making many people rethink their trips to Japan. Fears of a possible disaster have led to travel delays and cancellations.
This has raised concerns in the travel industry about how such predictions impact bookings.
CN Yuen, managing director of WWPKG, a Hong Kong-based travel agency, told CNN that bookings to Japan for the Easter holiday have dropped by a shocking 50 percent.
The drop in bookings is especially striking because it comes during one of the busiest travel seasons. Yuen predicts this decline will continue for several months as travelers remain wary.
Adding to the anxiety, the Chinese embassy in Tokyo recently issued a warning about natural disaster risks in Japan.
Released last month, the alert urged residents and travelers to stay vigilant. Highlighting the dangers of possible disasters, this message has heightened caution among potential visitors, according to the South China Morning Post.
