The total area is approximately 35 sq. km. The relief of the forest includes many rocky caves, and the features of the location, in particular the density of the forest and the lowlands, provide "deafening" silence.
But that's not the terrible thing here …
There are many legends and tales that the Aokigahara forest is inhabited by the ghosts of those who once committed suicide here. Restless souls are doomed to wander through this forest forever as punishment for their offense.
The place is breath-taking and incredible. Here you can find a lot of personal items, such as phones, bags, passports and things like that
On average, the remains of about a hundred suicidal people are taken out of the Aokigahara forest every year (those that were found, of course). There are special groups whose job is to walk through this forest and look for corpses, then call the police. If they come across a living person who has come here obviously to commit suicide, then they take him away and take him to special "safe houses" located near the forest. There, a psychologist will continue to communicate with these people.
Тop 3 facts about Aokigahara
*If a random tourist gets into Aokigahara who does not think about death, ghosts can take him to another world.
*It is not recommended to spend the night in Aokigahara. There is no official ban, but the recommendations are very harsh. The Japanese believe that this is disrespectful to spirits, and especially impressionable people can become a victim of a heart attack – trees are so scary in the dark at night. Others believe that the ghosts of Aokigahara are especially active at night. If you stay here, they will force you to commit suicide.
*A person who has decided to commit suicide takes with him a ball of threads, a bunch of bright ribbons. He ties the end to the trunk not far from the edge of the forest and moves deeper, unwinding the ball. If he changes his mind in the process, he will be able to return on a colored ribbon. As a rule, at the same time he winds up a tangle. The tapes left in the forest are traces of realized attempts.
Be careful and don't do stupid things!!!!!!
