Aokigahara Forest

If you can get past the dense shrubbery, the foreboding mist, the nooses hung from trees and the eerie signs, Aokigahara Forest is just another walk in the park. But if you have a small aversion to let’s say, “dead bodies,” this specific area of woodland might not be for you. You see, since the 1950’s people have been flocking here for a very specific and horrifying reason – to commit suicide. Around 500 people have walked into Aokigahara Forest and not walked out. The problem is so bad, that the Japanese government has to do annual sweeps to clear the forest out.
