Mayoiga () in Japanese folklore refers to a "lavish" or "well-kept" but abandoned house found in remote parts of the mountains or similar wilderness.
This legend became widely known when the folklorist Kunio Yanagita introduced a story he had heard from Kiyoshi Sasaki, a native of Tsuchibuchi Village, Iwate Prefecture (now Tono City), in chapters 63 and 64 of the Tales of Tono (1910).
