2nd most popular place to kill yourself after the Golden Gate Bridge (which I didn't know was 1st) Japanese govt has annual body hunts bc they know they will find them. The govt also has signs posted in forest to try and talk people out of it

There's a Vice video on YouTube about it, I'm pretty sure.

Yep - it's on the other side of Mt. Fuji from us, about an hours drive.

That's so awesome. I've heard it is extremely quite then you have strings tied to trees going every which way in the forest just Incase you change your mind.

Watch the documentary The Bridge. Made several years ago, but it is haunting.

I read where most of the suicides happen in March because it is around the end of the Japanese fiscal year. Not really surprising.

Suicide Forest in Japan

There's a scene where the "caretaker" finds a guy camped out in a tent thinking about it.

That film was a testament to some of the advances in material sciences. They found a body in the forest, decomposed down to the bones but the shoes looked brand new. Impressive.

There was an Ancient Aliens episode that tried to tie to trickster demons which are really alien something blah blah blah.

That was when I started to doubt the scholarly integrity of hair dude.
