Japan has the highest suicide rate in the world. In particular, after the global recession in 2008, this number has steadily increased to the point where the government has had to stop publishing suicides in Aokigahara in recent years to regain its reputation. Photo: Gypse Thread.
Many famous films have set their scene here. The movie "Sea of Trees" was released in 2016 about an American man who comes to Aokigahara to commit suicide and meet a Japanese for the same reason. "Forest", supernatural horror film released in the US 2016 was also shot in this forest.
