Also interesting...the following article, in many ways been there, done that.

Sleeping overnight completely ALONE in Aokigahara, AKA Japan's "suicide forest"

Image
To the best of my knowledge and extent of my Google-fu, there has been no one that has documented going to Aokigahara AKA "the Sea of Trees" (or "Sea of Forest" according to the Engrish of the Wind Cave parking lot's map of the area, and also known as, unfortunately, the "Suicide Forest"), and sleeping  overnight  completely alone  among the alleged ghosts and scattered remnants that numerous tortured souls have left behind.    There are several videos and blogs of people either going in at night to “ghost hunt”, or of pairs or groups going in to stay overnight, but no one seems to have been bold (insane) enough to document going in there and sleeping ALONE overnight in Aokigahara, and thus leaving one's self vulnerable to whatever creatures, other residents (alive or... other 😧).

Fuji's base) there were several large caves and holes, seemingly in much more abundance than near the Lava & ice caves. Whatever this root curled around obviously came out the loser in what was likely a years-long fight for survival...    Based on the shape, I think this should be called Jabba the Cave. This is connected to a 2~3 km long cave.    Some creepyness here. I wonder who and why(??!?) did someone (...or some thing ?) feel the urge/need to look for several softball-sized rocks and pile them up like this... ...and I hope this lonesome hat we found on the trail was dropped by accident, not because the owner had no use for it (and life in general) anymore. Either way, we left it where it was...  After having gotten off the trail earlier in the...
