The Vietnamese Girl Explores The Suicide Forest In Japan Alone
Although going to Japan with a few friends, Lan Uyen alone decided to enter Aokigahara forest - a place famous for suicides.
The Vietnamese girl discovered the suicide forest on her own in a Japanese tour
Nguyen Lan Uyen, nicknamed Saru, just had a Japanese tour in December. One of the destinations on her must-go list is the Aokigahara forest, located northwest of the foothills of Mt. Tokyo is about 100 km. Below is Saru's share of this journey
Holding a map showing the sightseeing bus routes taken from Kawaguchiko Station, I carefully reviewed the last bus time and attached Gopro, went deep into the forest, ignoring the scrutiny eyes from the surrounding people. around.
Those who enter this forest alone will be considered "not wanting to go back"
Lan Uyen alone explores the suicide forest.
From the edge of the forest, I could see the snow-capped Mount Fuji peak. Despite haunting rumors, Aokigahara is still a 1,000-year-old pristine forest.
I wanted to enter the place known as the "suicide forest" by myself, partly because I wanted to go to places that are considered "barriers" by traditional Japanese tourists, partly because I was too impressed with the movie The Forest. I also want to check the rumors about "yurei" - ghosts of the dead in this forest.
Each other, the yurei create hallucinations, lure those into the forest to become lost, lonely, unable to find a way home, always in a state of confusion, negativity, and the decision to end the end. living
There is no sound other than the rustling of my footsteps on the leaves. The deeper you go, the more the space is smoked, everywhere are wooden boards advising people to commit suicide.
Walking off the trail - which is not recommended - I tracked down the tree ropes of those who were confused with their decisions. They leave a trail so they can come back if they think carefully.
According to Japan Times, in 2010, more than 200 people tried to commit suicide in Aokigahara forest, only 54 people returned to life.
Starting to appear in my view were scattered items on the ground, such as water bottles, cloth, broken bottles, coils ...
I kept going, walking along the trail of pink ribbon, then suddenly It had disappeared strangely, and I realized that I had come a long way.
I took out the compass from my backpack and found it impossible to use. I decided to walk away from the pink ribbon, but keep it within my sight.
Then suddenly, I heard the rustling of footsteps on the leaves, and the sound of people talking. Looking around, I saw the silhouette of a man passing by from afar, startled me. Thought to be one of the tourists like me, I headed in that direction, hoping to have companionship
But I couldn't catch up, until I saw an old frayed coat under a tree, next to a crumbling umbrella, unfinished pack of pills, a piece of rope hanging hauntingly ...
I looked around. , lots of little things scattered like wills from the dead.
The first thing I do is turn off Gopro. When I decided to come here, I told myself not to shoot and photograph those relics, with the intention of respecting the deceased. I reached out to remove Gopro from my shirt when it was turned off, even though I had fully charged the battery before going into the woods.
I sat down on a tree stump, among tens of thousands of trees rising to the ground. It is said that the trees in this forest could be the dwelling place of yurei. However, in my mind at that time only the people who have come here to end life.
Surely, they had a time of crisis and couldn't find a way out.
Many famous films have been set to shoot here such as Sea of Trees, The Forest ...
I don't know how long I've been gone, but looking up at the sky is already dark. My body is hot and cold sometimes. I hurriedly put my backpack running back up the lead of the pink ribbon. The darkness approached so quickly, I feared that I would not see anything in this murky forest.
Luckily, I ran out of the forest before the sky went black, to the bus stop with no strength left. The clock was at 17 o'clock - the last trip of the bus to return, but I had to sit there for more than half an hour before the car arrived, amid the harsh cold and still perspiring.
I climbed on the bus, exhausted, and noticed a few Japanese people sitting on the bus staring at me. But right now I just felt like I needed a nap. I woke up when a man woke me up for going to the station.
