About this sight
Aokigahara is a 35 square-kilometer forest at the base of Mout Fuji's northwest side. The area, also known as "the suicide forest," has a somewhat dark reputation as some people commit suicide in this location every year. The forest has been historically associated with "yurei" (angry spirits) and other demons.
