Aokigahara, also called Jukai or the Sea of Trees, is a 35 square kilometre forest at the northwestern base of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, and one of the world's most used suicide sites. Recovered bodies peaked at 105 in 2003, and officials later stopped publishing annual counts to avoid drawing more people to the forest; since 2009 patrols and signs at the trailheads urge visitors to seek help. Hanging and drug overdoses are the most common methods. The association is often traced to Seicho Matsumoto's 1961 novel Tower of Waves, though suicides at the forest predate it.

from wikipedia:

It is also a popular place for suicides, reportedly the world’s second most popular suicide location after San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge[1], due in some part to the novel Kuroi Jukai (Black Forest), which ends with the lovers of the novel committing suicide in the forest. Since the 1950s, more than 500 people have lost their lives in the forest, mostly suicides,[1] with approximately 30 suicides counted yearly.[2][citation needed] In 2002, 78 bodies were found within the forest, replacing the previous record of 73 in 1998.[3] The high rate of suicide has led officials to place signs within the forest, urging those who have gone there specifically with the purpose of suicide in mind to seek help and not kill themselves. The annual search, consisting of a small army of police, volunteers and attendant journalists, began in 1970.[4]

Aside from those intending to die in the forest, the dense forest and rugged inaccessibility has also attracted the adventuring of thrill seekers. Many of these hikers marked their traveled routes by leaving colored plastic tapes behind, causing concerns from prefectural officials with regard to the ecosystem of the forest.[5]

In 2004, a movie about the forest was released, called 樹の海 (Ki no Umi or Sea of Trees; English Title: Jyukai - The Sea of Trees Behind Mt. Fuji), by the director Takimoto Tomoyuki. It told the story of four different people who decided to end their lives in the forest of Aokigahara. While scouting for shooting locations, Takimoto told reporters that he found a wallet containing 370,000 yen (roughly $3,760 USD), giving rise to the popular rumor that Aokigahara is a treasure trove for scavengers.[6] Others have claimed to have found credit cards, rail passes, and driver's licenses.
