Suicide Forest
The "Suicide Forest," officially known as Aokigahara, is a dense forest located at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. It covers approximately 35 square kilometers and is known for its serene beauty, attracting many hikers and tourists. However, it has gained notoriety as a site where many individuals have taken their own lives, leading to its grim nickname.
Aokigahara is characterized by its unique landscape, including caves, trees, and a variety of wildlife. The forest's thick vegetation and volcanic soil create a quiet atmosphere, which some find peaceful. Despite its beauty, the forest serves as a reminder of mental health issues and the importance of support for those in crisis.
