Nestled at the northwestern base of Mount Fuji, Aokigahara Forest is a dense and serene expanse of trees. The forest’s proximity to the iconic, near-symmetrical cone of Japan’s most famous mountain adds to its allure. Despite its tranquil atmosphere and natural beauty, it carries a somber history as the second-most frequented site for those with tragic intentions. Today, visitors can explore the forest’s winding trails, experiencing a peaceful hike surrounded by the quiet, lush greenery.
