THE AOKIGAHARA FOREST AKA SUICIDE HOME IN JAPAN

The Aokigahara Forest is a dense, eerie forest located at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. The forest is known for its beauty but also its dark history, as it has become known as a popular place for people to commit suicide.


The forest's reputation as a suicide destination began in the 1960s, and over the years, it has become the site of hundreds of suicides. Many people are drawn to the forest due to its reputation, and signs are posted throughout the forest with messages like "Your life is a precious gift from your parents" and "Please consult the police before you decide to die!" in an effort to deter people from taking their own lives.


The forest has also become the subject of numerous books, movies, and documentaries. The most famous of these is probably the movie "The Forest," released in 2016, which tells the story of a woman who travels to Japan to search for her twin sister, who has gone missing in the Aokigahara Forest.


While the forest's reputation as a suicide destination is well-known, it is important to remember that it is also a natural wonder and an important part of Japan's cultural heritage. Efforts are underway to promote the forest's natural beauty and history, and to provide support for those struggling with mental health issues
