'Japan's Baba Vanga' foresees 'devastation' in chilling prediction for 2030
Comic artist Ryo Tatsuki, who predicted the Covid-19 pandemic and Princess Diana's death, has been dubbed as Japan's version of the famed Bulgarian psychic A psychic who has been dubbed 'Japan's Baba Vanga ' has made a chilling premonition that she says will come true in 2030, just half a decade from now. Ryo Tatsuki is a Japanese comic artist who has previously predicted the deaths of Freddie Mercury and Princess Diana. The mystic also foresaw natural disasters like the Kobe earthquake in 2011 and health emergencies such as the Covid-19 pandemic. She has been compared to the infamous Baba Vanga, the Bulgarian psychic. Vanga's real name was Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, and she died at the age of 84 in 1996 having become famous for her clairvoyance. She claimed to have gained her powers during a storm, when she lost her eyesight at 12 years old. And 85 per cent of her visions are said to have come true. But Ms Tatsuki is now rising as a successor to the world-famous Baba Vanga, and she is predicting another deadly virus for 2030. In her book, The Future as I See It, published in 1999, the Japanese psychic described an 'unknown virus' in 2020, leading many people to believe she correctly predicted Covid. 'An unknown virus will come in 2020, will disappear after peaking in April, and appear again 10 years later,' she wrote. And worryingly she also believes a horrific virus will 'return in 2030' and cause even 'greater devastation'. This concerningly coincides with Covid cases rising in India as a new strain of the virus has been identified, reported the Mirror. Holiday bookings to Japan have dipped sharply over another of Ms Tatsuki's predictions. Fear of another big earthquake in Japan has been building for years with the country sitting on a seismic fault line, and it has seen its fair share of quakes in the past. In fact, the country experiences around 1,500 official earthquakes each year, according to the EarthScope Consortium and These earthquakes occur daily, though many are too small to be felt. The most recent major earthquake in Japan was on March 11, 2011 with a 9.0 magnitude force, and it was predicted by Ms Tatsuki. It caused a massive tsunami that claimed thousands of lives and led to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Four years ago, Ms Tatsuki published an updated version of her book which predicted another earthquake, this one in July 2025, which seems to have affected tourism to the country. CN Yuen, managing director of WWPKG, a travel agency based in Hong Kong, told CNN that bookings to Japan dropped by half during the Easter holiday. They are expected to dip further in the coming two months. Visitors from China and Hong Kong, which are Japan's second and fourth biggest source of tourists, have dropped significantly. The impact of her latest prediction is also being felt in South Korea and Taiwan, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. It used ForwardKeys data to gauge the impact on airline bookings and found that average bookings to Japan from Hong Kong were down 50 per cent year-on-year. Flights between late June and early July had plummeted by as much as 83 per cent. 'We expected around 80 per cent of the seats to be taken, but actual reservations came to only 40per cent,' Hiroki Ito, the general manager of the airline's Japan office, told the Asahi Shimbun following the sharp dip in travel over Easter. "The quake speculations are definitely having a negative impact on Japan tourism and it will slow the boom temporarily,' said Eric Zhu, Bloomberg Intelligence's analyst for aviation and defense. "Travelers are taking a risk-adverse approach given the plethora of other short-haul options in the region.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Psychic dubbed country's 'Baba Vanga' issues terrifying prediction for 2030
Ryo Tatsuki, a comic artist from Japan, has made many predictions which have come true including the Covid-19 pandemic, leading her to be compared to the Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga A terrifying prediction has been made by a psychic who has been dubbed Japan's Baba Vanga and it is due to come true in just five years, in 2030. Ryo Tatsuki is a comic artist, who had correctly foreseen deaths including those of Freddie Mercury and Princess Diana as well as natural disasters like the Kobe earthquake in 2011 and health alarms such as the Covid-19 pandemic. She has been compared to Baba Vanga, the famous Bulgarian mystic, whose real name was Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, and died at the age of 84 in 1996 having become famous for her clairvoyance. Baba Vanga claimed to have gained her powers during a terrible storm, when she lost her eyesight at 12 years old. And she is believed to have had such strong visions that 85% of them are correct. Now Ms Tatsuki is predicting another deadly virus for 2030 which is similar to that which hit the globe five years ago. In her book, The Future as I See It, published in 1999, the Japanese mystic described an 'unknown virus' in 2020, leading many people to believe she correctly predicted Covid. 'An unknown virus will come in 2020, will disappear after peaking in April, and appear again 10 years later,' she wrote. And worryingly she also believes a horrific virus will 'return in 2030' and cause even 'greater devastation'. It coincides with Covid cases rising currently in India where people have been warned to be vigilant. Meanwhile, holiday bookings have dipped sharply for Japan over another of Ms Tatsuki's predictions. Fear of another big earthquake in Japan has been building for years with the country sitting on a seismic fault line and it is no stranger to tremors. In fact, the country experiences around 1,500 noticeable earthquakes each year, according to the EarthScope Consortium and These earthquakes occur daily, though many are too small to be felt. The most recent major earthquake in Japan was on March 11, 2011 with a 9.0 magnitude force and was predicted by Ms Tatsuki. It caused a massive tsunami that claimed thousands of lives and led to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Given that context, anxiety about a similar event seems understandable. Four years ago Ms Tatsuki published an updated version of her book which predicted another earthquake, this one in July 2025, and it is now affecting tourism it appears. CN Yuen, managing director of WWPKG, a travel agency based in Hong Kong, told CNN that bookings to Japan dropped by half during the Easter holiday. They are expected to dip further in the coming two months. Visitors from China and Hong Kong, which are Japan's second and fourth biggest source of tourists, have dropped significantly. In Thailand and Vietnam posts online warning of earthquake danger have been gaining traction. The impact of her latest prediction is also being felt in South Korea and Taiwan, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. It used ForwardKeys data to gauge the impact on airline bookings and found that average bookings from Hong Kong were down 50% year-on-year. Flights between late June and early July had plummeted by as much as 83%.

Tourists are cancelling trips to popular destination after psychic dubbed the 'new Baba Vanga' makes terrifying prediction for just two months' time
Tourists are cancelling their trips abroad after a woman who has been referred to as Japan 's 'Baba Vanga' made a terrifying prediction for a disaster set to strike in just two months' time. Baba Vanga, the renowned blind Bulgarian mystic, was known for her bleak but accurate predictions. Despite having passed away in 1996, she eerily predicted world events including the 9/11 attacks and the death of Princess Diana. Now, Ryo Tatsuki, who has been heralded as Japan's answer to the famed prophet, 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 1999, after consistently having what she described as visions of the future, Tatsuki released her book which was titled, 'The Future I Saw'. In it, she detailed the eerie visions that she'd had, some of which have since come true. In 2021, Tatsuki released an updated version of 'The Future I Saw' which included a prediction of a major disaster in mid-2025. Now, as the date draws closer, many travellers who had holidays booked to Japan for July are getting cold feet and postponing their trips or cancelling altogether. According to CN Yuen, managing director of WWPKG, a travel agency based in Hong Kong, bookings to Japan dropped by half during the Easter holiday. This is expected to dip even further in the coming two months in the leadup to the premonition date. Tourists from China and Hong Kong, which are the country's second- and fourth-largest sources of tourists, respectively, have been the most likely to cancel or postpone their Japan travel plans. This was further exacerbated after China's embassy in Tokyo stoked concerns by releasing an official warning to Chinese citizens in late April to take caution when travelling, studying or buying real estate in Japan. But the panic has since spread to other markets including Thailand and Vietnam, where social media platforms have been flooded with Tatsuki's prediction, warning travellers to reconsider their holidays to Japan. Japanese officials have since attempted to quell the panic with a series of official statements to reassure travellers that these were simply 'unscientific rumours'. 'It would be a major problem if the spread of unscientific rumours on social media had an effect on tourism,' Yoshihiro Murai, governor of Miyagi prefecture, said at a press conference on Wednesday. 'There is no reason to worry because Japanese are not fleeing abroad … I hope people will ignore the rumours and visit.' To date, Tatuski's most accurate prediction was that a major disaster would occur in March 2011. Sure enough, in March 2011, Japan was hit by a devastating 9.1 magnitude earthquake and tsunami in the northern Tohoku region which ended up claiming the lives of over 18,000 people. It's also thought that the author and artist predicted the death of Queen's Freddie Mercury as well as the 1995 Kobe earthquake. However, many remain sceptical of Tatsuki's predictions. Critics point out that the Manga artist has always insisted that some of her dreams are purely symbolic, including a premonition that she would die in 2000 and that Mount Fuji would erupt. Despite this, psychics from Japan and Hong Kong have since shared similar warnings of a catastrophic disaster taking place in July 2025, inadvertently adding to the panic. In her predictions for the Year of the Snake, feng shui master Qi Xian Yu, who is also often referred to as Master Seven, said: 'The coming year will see more natural disasters such as earthquakes and fires, and traffic and aviation accidents. We should also be careful of travelling to countries in the northeast direction, such as Japan and South Korea.' Japan is no stranger to earthquakes, being situated along the Ring of Fire, an area that is notorious for its intense seismic and volcanic activity. There have been mounting fears of the 'big one' ever since the Japanese government warned back in January that there was an 80 per cent chance of a severe earthquake hitting the country's southern Nankai Trough within 30 years. According to Tokyo's metropolitan government, 'Nankai Trough earthquakes are massive quakes that have repeatedly occurred at an interval of approximately every 100 to 150 years with their epicentral areas located along the plate boundary between Suruga Bay in the central prefecture of Shizuoka and the Hyuganada Sea off the southern main island of Kyushu'. The Nankai Trough is a 700-kilometer long zone where the tectonic plates slip beneath each other, this means the most powerful typically occur in these zones. The reason for the panic is because the tectonic plate under the Philippine Sea is slowly slipping beneath the continental plate that Japan sits upon. According to a 2013 report by the government's Earthquake Research Committee, this plate moves a few centimeters every year. Earthquakes at the Nankai Trough have been recorded every 100 to 200 years and the last quakes took place in 1944 and 1946, which both reportedly measured 8.1 in magnitude and caused 2,500 total deaths as well as thousands thousands of injuries and destroyed homes. Oracle Ryo claimed she began having premonitions in the early 1980s after a number of her vivid dreams came true. Her book has recently gained renewed interest after a number of her premonitions made in hindsight appeared to mirror real life events. She claims to have seen images of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury dying suddenly in a dream on November 24, 1976. Exactly 15 years to the day later, the singer died aged 45 from complications of having AIDS. She is also thought to have predicted the death of Princess Diana. A year after later, Tatsuki claimed she had a dream in which she saw a woman standing at the end of a corridor in a palace. Stood at the end, she saw a portrait of a blonde woman holding a baby, with the picture named 'Diana'. Five years to the day later, she claimed she had another dream about the Princess in which she saw her die in the car crash. The prophet has previously said that her predictive dreams arrive in a period of time that can be divided by five. Then in 1995, Tatsuki said that dreamed an old man led her to 'cracked earth', leading her to predict that the Japanese city of Kobe would be 'cracked' in either 15 days or 15 years. And thus her prophecy came true as 15 days later, Kobe was struck by an insidious earthquake that killed more than 5,000 people. It is now considered the second deadliest earthquake of the 20th century. Elsewhere in her book, she also predicted there would be a 'great disaster' that would occur in 2011. It has also been alleged that Tatsuki accurately predicted the onset of the Covid pandemic. Writing in her book, she predicted: 'In 25 years, an unknown virus will come in 2020, will disappear after peaking in April, and appear again 10 years later.' If Tatsuki is correct, the world is yet to see the end of the virus, with another surge in cases poised for five years time. Since a number of her predictions turned out to be true, Tatsuki has been compared to the Bulgarian prophetess, Baba Vanga. Baba Vanga, who died aged 85 in 1996, was a blind psychic who passed away three decades ago. She became a cult figure after supposedly predicting major world events such as 9/11, the Covid-19 pandemic and even Princess Diana's death.
