A Japanese mystic who predicted a devastating earthquake to take place inside the next two months has caused travel chaos.
Now, those in the alleged impact area are urging tourists not to cancel their trips due to the chilling prediction from Ryo Tatsuki, who has been dubbed the ‘new Baba Vanga‘.
Of course, we’re all familiar with the Bulgarian clairvoyant, who is credited with accurately predicting some major world disasters that have taken place after her death – the 9/11 attacks and the death of Princess Diana being two of the most famed.
But attention has recently turned to 70-year-old Tatsuki who accurately predicted an earthquake to hit Japan in March 2011 – in the northern Tohuku region, which claimed the lives of more than 18,000 people.

The manga artist made the prophecy in her 1999 released book, titled The Future I Saw.
A ‘complete edition’ on Tatsuki’s book was published in 2021, and it’s here that she warned of another devastating event that will take place in July 2025. This event is predicted to take place in Japan and will supposedly hit the country on July 5.
Tatsuki has warned that ‘a crack will open up under the seabed between Japan and the Philippines, sending ashore waves three times as tall as those from the Tohoku earthquake’, CNN reports.
Now, tourists hoping to travel to Japan have cited the mystic’s hair-raising prediction as a major reason not to go – with one person even explaining how their family are urging them to cancel their upcoming trip to the East Asian nation.

The post read in part: “Usually I’d just dismiss these warnings as them being paranoid, but it seems like there are a lot of reputable researchers saying that Japan is long overdue for a massive quake that could kill hundreds of thousands of people.”
Despite also explaining how they had ‘survived a massive earthquake once before’ which left them ‘traumatised’, users were bemused at the fact people were considering canceling a trip over something that has not even happened yet.
One user commented: “There’s always warnings about a possible mega quake. You can’t predict it. So just go.”
While another added: “There are not [a lot of reputable researchers predicting the earthquake]. Anyone who says they can predict quakes is a quack. The government has given worst case scenarios for what could happen in a Nankai Trough quake which could happen in the next 30 years.

“Notice the number of ‘could’s? Cancelling a holiday because of a quake that may come at some point in time in the next 30 years is quite frankly nuts. And I live here, in an earthquake prone area.”
Another user explained how Japan frequently has earthquake warnings taking place, pointing out that their buildings are built ‘to withstand earthquakes’.
The original poster replied: “But what if I’m outside when it happens? Or if there’s a tsunami, even being inside a building won’t be safe.”
While another user added: “If you’re outside stay away from buildings so things don’t fall on you. Being inside during a tsunami is safe if you’re above the water line. You’re panicking over a whole lot of nothing by watching too many TikToks with disinformation.”

A woman who has been hailed as Japan’s own Baba Vanga has a bleak prediction for July that’s sparking people to cancel their trips.
Baba Vanga is world-renowned for her often bleak but accurate predictions about the world, despite having passed away in 1996.
The late Bulgarian mystic accurately predicted major events such as the 9/11 attacks and the death of Princess Diana.
But there’s another person who has been making accurate predictions about our future, and that’s Ryo Tatsuki.
Tatsuki is a manga artist and in 1999 released her book called The Future I Saw. In it, she detailed visions that she’d had, some of which have come true.
It’s thought that one of Tatuski’s most accurate predictions to date was a major disaster in March 2011. This date ended up being the same time that Japan was hit by a cataclysmic quake and tsunami in northern Tohoku region.
The devastating ordeal claimed the lives of over 18,000 people.

It’s believed that the artist also accurately predicted the death of Freddie Mercury and the 1995 Kobe earthquake.
A ‘complete edition’ on Tatsuki’s book was published in 2021, and it’s here that she warned of another devastating event that will take place in July 2025. This event is predicted to take place in Japan and will supposedly hit the country on July 5.
Tatsuki has warned that ‘a crack will open up under the seabed between Japan and the Philippines, sending ashore waves three times as tall as those from the Tohoku earthquake’, CNN reports.
In the best-selling book, it also details Japan’s oceans ‘boiling’, which some have interpreted to be a sign of pending a volcanic eruption from underwater.
The disaster is drawn to have its epicenter as a diamond-shaped region that links Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan and the Northern Mariana Islands, says The Macao News.

As a result of Tatsuki’s prediction, people are reportedly canceling their trips to Japan our of fear of being there when the disaster hits.
Speaking to CNN, CN Yuen, managing director of WWPKG, a travel agency based in Hong Kong, explained that bookings to Japan dropped by 50 percent over the Easter break — a figure that’s expected to drop even further over the next couple of months.
People’s concerns were further exacerbated when the Chinese embassy in Tokyo issued a warning about natural disasters in Japan last month.
In its warning, the embassy told those who were living in or planning on travel to Japan to take extra precautions against natural disasters, South China Morning Post reported.

Japan’s own ‘Baba Vanga’ has issued a scary warning about a catastrophic event that could happen in July this year.
Baba Vanga, who was a Bulgarian woman named Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, was known for allegedly predicting a thing or two correct in her lifetime.
It’s widely reported that Vanga supposedly predicted the death of Princess Diana in 1997 and the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, among other things.
And as you’d expect, it’s usually never anything good.
Vanga died in 1996, however, it now appears that Japan is home to an individual with similar eerie predictions.
Fortune teller and former manga artist, Ryo Tatsuki has said her predictions come to her in vivid dreams, which she claims she’s been experiencing since the 1980s.

The 70-year-old published a manga called The Future I Saw back in 1999, a book based on some of her wildest dreams.
And while the novel may be 26-years-old, it has gained a new set of followers in recent months and years as readers compare what she predicted to real-world events.
Now, Tatsuki has now issued a concerning warning for an event that could occur later on this year in July. She is predicting the ocean is ‘boiling’ south of Japan, which could spell disaster for the country.
Many are interpreting the dream as an undersea volcanic eruption which would be powerful enough to trigger a so-called ‘mega tsunami’.
As you’d probably expect with such a name, Tatsuki is predicting the tsunami will have a gigantic impact zone, enough to cause devastation over Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
She has also referenced seeing ‘dragon-like shapes’ moving toward the area, though experts are urging caution over such claims as they say there is ‘no scientific basis for Tatsuki’s claims’, according to Times Now News.

Tatsuki retired in 2020 after saying it would be her ‘own funeral’ in 1995, however, she wasn’t referring to a literal funeral but rather the end of her career as a ‘mangaka’ or manga artist, Medium says.
As for her previous ‘predictions’, she is believed to have correctly predicted Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991, as well as a deadly Kobe earthquake in 1995.
It’s also claimed she correctly predicted the Covid-19 pandemic, which I think none of us could have correctly predicted.
Tatuski wrote: “In 25 years, an unknown virus will come in 2020, will disappear after peaking in April, and appear again 10 years later.”
For Japan’s sake, however, we’ll all be hoping this prediction does not come to fruition.

Baba Vanga made some terrifying predictions for 2025, which means it could be the end of the world as we know it.
The late Bulgarian mystic may have died in 1996, but her spirit very much remains alive to this day.
That is because the predictions she made long before her passing have become scarily accurate.
For example, she said that in 2023 we’d experience a solar storm, and for those that can remember, we certainly did.
The storm hit on December 1 last year, with scientists issuing warnings of potential blackouts at the time.

As for 2024, Vanga said that they will be increased terrorist attacks and that Vladimir Putin would be the victim of an assassination attempt.
An economic crisis was also predicted, and I think many Americans can attest to that.
Well, Vanga is back at it again as her predictions for 2025 have resurfaced, as per various reports.
While Vanga suggested that humanity would not be wiped out until 5079, the apocalypse will apparently commence in 2025.
So, what is the prediction wiz’s timeline for the end of humanity?
Well, a conflict in Europe in 2025 will devastate the continent’s population, while humans will begin to explore Venus as an energy source in 2028.
Vanga also predicted that polar ice caps will melt in 2033, subsequently raising sea levels to drastic heights worldwide.
Before a lot of more bad things happen over the years, Vanga predicted the world would end in 5079.
And to be honest, Vanga has predicted an awful lot correct over the years, so these predictions certainly shouldn’t be taken lightly.
The attacks that took place on 9/11 shook the world and were absolutely not expected, but Vanga has since been credited with predicting the attacks back in 1989.

She’s reported as saying: “Horror, Horror! The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds. The wolves will be howling in a bush, and innocent blood will be gushing.”
Vanga’s mention of ‘steel birds’ is believed to refer to the planes used to carry out the attacks.
Of course, we don’t know when our last day on Earth is going to be.
Vanga, however, apparently did.
The clairvoyant is said to have predicted her death right down to the day, on 11 August, 1996.
Here’s hoping the terrifying predictions on the horizon made by Vanga do not come to fruition.

With 2025 mere months away, pretty soon we’ll be reflecting on the year that’s passed.
If you’re curious to get a glimpse into the future, then fortuneteller Baba Vanga has made some pretty wild predictions for the new year.
From another huge war breaking out in Europe, to humans battling martians, we’re in for a rocky ride.
The Bulgarian psychic, who was blind at birth, has supposedly foreseen some pretty major world events, including 9/11, the death of Princess Diana, and even her own tragic death.
The psychic made some pretty bold statements about this year – and some have already come true.
We take a look back at Baba Vanga’s 2024 forecast to see which of her visions came to life.
Terrorism
Baba Vanga claimed there would be increased terrorist attacks this year and, according to the Global Terrorism Index 2024 report, that appears to be the case.
The report says terrorism increased by 22 percent this year to 8,352, the highest level since 2017.
Natural disasters
The mystic foresaw more terrifying weather events – and that’s certainly been the case. In recent weeks alone, Hurricanes Helene and Milton have devastated parts of the US, with the latter prompting scientists to consider creating a new, stronger category of storm.

Elsewhere in the world, Jamaica was hit by Storm Beryl, Pakistan faced deadly floods, and wildfires raged in parts of the US and Canada.
Recessions
Baba Vanga warned of economic crisis in her 2024 forecast. Sure enough, both the UK and Japan found themselves facing financial hardships this year.
The UK slumped into recession towards the end of last year, while the Office of National Statistics (ONS), said in February that gross domestic product (GDP) fell by a larger than expected 0.3 percent in the three months to December in the UK.

The country managed to climb out of recession this May, with its strongest economic growth since late 2021. I suppose Baba Vanga didn’t say how long the recession would last.
Earlier this year, Japan moved down one position to fourth in global standings as it faced economic challenges.
Health treatments
There was some hope among the doom and gloom Baba Vanga predicted. The psychic reckoned humanity would shackle cancer ‘with iron chains’.
Baba Vanga herself died of breast cancer at the age of 84 in 1996.

There have been a number of cancer treatment breakthroughs this year, including a lung cancer vaccine, LungVax, in the works.
Scientists from the University of Oxford, the Francis Crick Institute and University College London (UCL) received £1.7 million ($2,139,225) from charities Cancer Research UK and the CRIS Cancer Foundation to fund 3,000 vaccines.
A ground-breaking brain cancer treatment could also be available in the UK within the next five years. drug ipilimumab – has proven particularly effective for patients who have not responded to conventional therapies.
Dr Paul Mulholland, who is pioneering the treatment at University College London, found that the drug ipilimumab has proven effective for patients who have not responded to conventional therapies.
What hasn’t come true?
While there’s two and a half months of the year left, a handful of Baba Vanga’s predictions haven’t come true. These include the assassination – or attempted assassination – of Vladimir Putin.

Another grim prediction included a ‘major country’ testing or deploying bioweapons. Let’s hope she’s wrong about this one.
