Episode Notes

Lake Biwa is Japan’s oldest lake, calm on the surface, but shaped by four million years of quiet depth. Across its shoreline, a series of unresolved disappearances and unexplained recoveries have left families without answers and investigators without clear evidence.

In this episode, we explore the lake’s history, its unique geography, and the cases that never reached resolution, including the 2021 suitcase discovery and other incidents that faded into silence. This is a grounded, investigative look at how water, time, and limited forensic clarity intersect in one of Japan’s most storied landscapes.

No dramatics. No folklore. Just the quiet reality of a place where stories drift before the truth can follow.
