Aokigahara Jukai

 - a forest at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan, "the Sea of Trees."

It is one of the top locations in the world for people wishing to end their lives.  Between 50-100 suicide victims are discovered inside Aokigahara each year by local police and volunteers.Official searches have been going on since 1970. So many people choose to die here that signs have been erected by Japanese officials, saying that life is a precious gift and urging those who have come to die to rethink their decision and seek help. Many haunting folk tales and myths of ghosts and spirits swirl around the forest, no doubt aided by old Japanese lore that says that those who die in unnatural manners are doomed to wander the earth as specters, howling and screaming through ought the night when the remains of their earthly bodies are discovered and allowed to remain alone over night.
