—Located in Koshu, Japan, Aokigahara, also known as Suicide Forest or Sea of Trees, is often referred to as “the perfect place to die” and is currently the world’s second most popular suicide destination. (Only San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge is more popular.) Each year, an average of 30 to 100 people choose to end their lives among the tranquility and gorgeous scenery the forest offers, though the exact numbers go unreported as Japanese authorities make every effort to prevent it from becoming an even more popular spot for ending it all.
Over the years, the forest has developed a reputation for being haunted by numerous supernatural entities and demons. While it has previously served as the site of several Japanese horror movies, Aokigahara has only recently been introduced to other parts of the world after being the focus of the 2016 movie, The Forest. Whether you are familiar with Suicide Forest or have just recently heard about it, here are ten things you don’t know about Suicide Forest.
