8 Aokigahara, Japan’s Suicide Forest
At the foot of Mount Fuji, the highest mountain peak in Japan, sprawls a 30-square-kilometer forest called Aokigahara. For many years, the shadowy woodland was known as the Sea of Trees. But in recent decades it has taken on a new name – Suicide Forest, because it’s the final resting place of as many as 100 suicide victims every year.
