There’s a 35km (14mi) square patch

There’s a 35km (14mi) square patch of forest at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan. It’s called Aokigahara or Jukai “Sea of Trees”. The Aokigahara forest grew up on top of an old lava flow. The ground is uneven and deceptive. Often you will take a step onto something that looks firm only to find yourself tripping as your foot falls into one of the many holes on the forest floor. There are many small caves scattered about. The forest is dense and forms canopies over the forest floor. This canopy blocks the wind, and, with no insects or wildlife around, the forest is eerily quiet.

The Sea of Trees is a place with as many as 100 suicides a year. More than 500 people have taken their own lives in Aokigahara since the 1950s. The trend started after Seicho Matsumoto published his novel Kuroi Kaiju (Black Sea of Trees) where two of his characters commit suicide there. After that hundreds of Japanese people have hanged themselves among the countless trees of the Aokigahara forest.

The forest also has a historic association with demons in Japanese mythology. Aokigahara has been associated with death and evil spirits even before it became popular as a place for suicide. An old Japanese tradition of ubasute was said to have been practiced; this is the practice of carrying the elderly and the sick into the forest and leaving them to die. Their angry spirits are called Yūrei, and they haunt the forest encouraging the suicidal people who enter to go through with their terrible urge to die. The Japanese also believe that if a person dies a sudden, unnatural or violent death (such as suicide), the spirit will turn into a Yūrei. If a body is not properly buried, or if a person dies with strong, negative feelings such as depression or rage, then the spirit will turn into a Yūrei. There are a lot of angry spirits in this forest.
