Aokigahara (青木ヶ原) / Sea of Trees (樹海, Jukai) Aokigahara, also known as the Sea of Trees, is a forest on the northwestern flank of Japan's Mount Fuji, thriving on 30 square kilometres of hardened lava laid down by the last major eruption of Mount Fuji in 864 CE. The forest has a historical reputation as a home to yūrei: ghosts of the dead in Japanese mythology. In recent years, Aokigahara has become known as "the Suicide Forest", one of the world's most-used suicide sites; signs at the head of some trails urge suicidal visitors to think of their families and contact a suicide prevention association Aokigahara forest, Mount Fuji, Japan – up to 105 suicides a year https://www.facebook.com/iceblog.p https://www.ice-blog.com/yamanashi/fuji-lakes #aokigaharaforest #aokigahara #fuji #lake #kawaguchiko #yamanashi #japan #travel (at Aokigahara) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMpure3lzCh/?igshid=1q9p9n3xbi8uh
