Kwaidan and Onibaba were very good, and a little sad.
I don't know if this would interest you, because it's animation and not really of the horror genre, but it does focus a lot on Japanese folk beliefs and tales. It's called Mushi-Shi. I found it on Netflix. Like I said, it's not scary, but the imagery is breathtaking and the atmosphere and characters are beautiful.
