Aokigahara

Aokigahara is an ancient spooky forest at the foot of Mount Fuji, Japan. It became a favorite place for people to commit suicides 60 years ago, when the Seiko Matsumoto's book "Black Sea of Trees" was published. The characters of the book committed mass suicide by hanging in this forest. Each year, special teams gather from 70 to 100 bodies in the woods. In addition to the dead, the forest is filled with marauders, hungry for profit in the pockets of hanged men.



Love to hear what you think!
