The most interesting Japanese urban legend I've encountered is "Cow's Head" (called 牛の首 in Japanese, and sometimes 牛頭).
It's kinda meta, as the urban legend is the urban legend itself. Japanese Wikipedia has some stuff about it, but it generally goes that there exists an old ghost story called "Cow's Head" which is so fucking scary that people who hear it go batshit crazy or depressed.

Allegedly the story itself is very old, although information on how old it really is varies from source to source, and has been passed down as folklore only.

If you try to find information on it online, you can stumble upon some Japanese web sites who retell different versions of the story, all of which are creepy as fuck.
