In addition to the convenience it provides when it comes to navigation, Google Maps is also a source of bizarre, never-seen-before stuff. Every now and then, people come across something peculiar that generates debate.

Now, a video showing an abandoned building with a never-ending hole in the floor has thrown internet off its game.

The clip shows someone searching coordinates on Google Maps in Japan, which appears to be the inside of an office building beside the site of the now-defunct Nara Dreamland's Water Park.

This is where it gets interesting. As the camera pans down, it is revealed that there is no floor, and in its place is a huge hole that descends deep into the ground. At the end of the clip, a robot-like figure can be seen next to the hole.

During the entire duration of the video, text reading: ¡°Nah wtf they hiding in Japan¡± appears on-screen.

Since the clip was uploaded last month on TikTok, it has received more than 19 million views, and over 3.4 million likes.

People were left spooked and took to comments section to react to the bizarre discovery.

¡°Bro credit to the cameraman who sacrificed himself to go in there,¡± one user wrote.

¡°So the backrooms are in Japan,¡± another user said.

¡°Bro that¡¯s just the next Squid Game season," a third user said.

This isn't the first time something eerie has been found on Google Maps. Last month, a user spotted a huge 'snake skeleton in France and the video had gone viral on social media.

According to The Independent, a TikTok account called @googlemapsfun shares videos of things they have found while exploring Google Maps. On March 24, the account shared a video of a giant snake-like object found off the coast of France.

"Somewhere in France, we can see something giant you can only see with satellites, hidden on Google Earth," the account states. "Users believe this to be a giant snake. It's about 30 metres long and bigger than any snake caught before."

According to the account, the snake skeleton could be that of the extinct Titanoboa - a genus of extremely large snakes.

The video has amassed more than 2 million views on TikTok, and there is definitely a snake-like object that can be spotted on Google Maps. However, it's not really it.

An investigation done by Snopes discovered that the "snake skeleton" is actually a 'large, metallic sculpture that's known as Le Serpent d'Ocean."
