Unsolved mysteries of one of the horrible places on Earth - Aokigahara Forest (19 pics)
Extreme, 29 Oct 2009 / Views: 25129
This post is very disturbing.
Please skip it if you are nervous or very impressionable.
Aokigahara is a woodland at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan.
Also called the Sea of Trees.
It is the most popular place to commit suicide in the whole Japan.
More than 500 people have taken their own lives in Aokigahara since the 1950s.
For, example 78 bodies were found there in 2002.
The trend has supposedly started after Seicho Matsumoto published his novel Kuroi Kaiju (Black Sea of Trees) where two of his characters commit suicide there.
But already in the 19th century poor farmers went to this forest to commit suicide, because they thought their children would have more food to eat then.
Every week police makes a raid in the forest looking for new bodies.
And you can also read about it on the CNN website.
Are you ready to take a look into the forest?

Japan and China are two entirely different countries and Japan's standard of life is pretty high. Life expectancy in Japan is also equally high on average. There are many ways where Japan is more developed than the United States even.
The problem with suicide is more of a cultural one than a "life quality" one. There are many cases where people who fall on hard times or who are disgraced in some way find it preferable to take the route of suicide.
