Suicide Forest

Aokigahara Forest, Japan. Aokigahara Forest, also known as "the Sea of Trees" and "Suicide Forest", is a forest that lies at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. The forest contains a number of rocky, icy caverns, a few of which are popular tourist destinations. The forest, which has a historic association with demons in Japanese mythology, is a popular place for suicides; in 2002, 78 bodies were found, despite numerous signs, in Japanese and English, urging people to reconsider their actions. Due to the wind-blocking density of the trees, and an absence of wildlife, the forest is known for being eerily quiet. The forest is the world's second most popular suicide location after San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge.
