Japan's Suicide Forest

FUJIKAWAGUCHIKO, JAPAN - MARCH 13: Plastic bottles believed to have been used to hold flowers remain at the scene of an apparent suicide in Aokigahara forest, on March 13, 2018 in Fujikawaguchiko, Japan. Aokigahara forest lies on the on the northwestern flank of Mount Fuji and in recent years has become known as one of the world's most prevalent suicide sites. The density of the forest is believed to be a contributing factor with people often tying string to trees to find their way back to a path in case they change their mind. In 2010, officials recorded more than 200 attempted suicides in the forest with attempts said to increase during the end of the Japanese fiscal year. In recent years, local officials have stopped publicising the numbers in an attempt to decrease Aokigahara's association with suicide. (Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images)
