“Called ‘the perfect place to die,’ the Aokigahra forest has the unfortunate distinction as the world’s second most popular place to take ones life (the first is the Golden Gate Bridge). Since the 1950s, Japanese businessmen have wandered in, and at least 500 of them haven’t wander out, a rate of roughly 30 suicides in the forest a year. Recently these numbers have increased with a record 78 bodies in 2002. Japanese spiritualists believe that the suicides committed in the Aokigahra forest has permeated Aokigahra’s trees, generating paranormal activity and preventing many who enter from escaping the forest’s depths. Complicating matters further is the popular experience of compasses rendered useless by rich deposits of magnetic iron in the area’s volcanic soil. Due to the vastness of the forest, desperate visitors are unlikely to encounter anyone once inside, so the police have left signs reading ‘Your life is a precious gift from your parents’ and ‘Please consult the police before you decide to die!’ mounted on trees throughout the forest.”
