Popular and well-known in Japan but less common elsewhere. Some which you have heard of (or seen English-language adaptations of) are likely to be these. These films are less about gore and blood and more about the psychological effects of fear. They also draw upon local folk beliefs about spirits and ghosts.
The Ring (and sequels), The Grudge (below), One Missed Call, Infection and the Suicide Club series (which does have plenty of gore and is pretty disturbing so be warned). Dark Water is another (and you can find this online on YouTube)
Disclaimer: all these films (and some of the trailers) are based on horror genre conventions and include aspects which might not be comfortable for viewing. The links go directly to the Japanese versions, which tend to be scarier than the English adaptations.
