Aokigahara also called The Sea of Trees, is a woodland at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. Since 1950 more then 500 people decided to suicided here. The trend started after Seicho Matsumoto published his novel (Kuroi Kaiju) where two characters commit suicide here. Dense and dark forest described like "the perfect place to die".
There are even signs the say "Please reconsider" or "Think about your family".
The forest is so dense that from just few kilometers no sounds can be heard.
wow, so macabre but still so beautiful!
