旅游详情介绍

Aokigahara Jukai

Aokigahara Jukai is located north side of Mt. Fuji, in Narusawa village, Yamanashi. Jukai is very new forest which is formed 1200 years ago. The entire forest is the national monument of Japan.
The forest floor consists primarily of volcanic rock and is difficult to penetrate with hand tools such as picks or shovels. There are also a variety of unofficial trails that are used semi-regularly for the annual "body hunt" done by local volunteers, who mark their search areas with plastic tape. The plastic tape is never removed, so a great deal of it litters the first kilometer of the forest, past the designated trails leading to and from known tourist attractions such as the Ice Cave and Wind Cave. After the first kilometer into Aokigahara towards Mount Fuji, the forest is in a much more pristine state, with little to no litter and few obvious signs of human contact. On some occasions human remains can be found in the distant reaches of the forest, but these are usually several years old and consist of scattered bones and incomplete skeletons, suggesting the presence of scavenging animals.
A very popular myth states that the magnetic iron deposits underground cause compasses to malfunction and travelers to get lost in the forest.
Because Jukai is located near from Tokyo, and it has many places for outdoor attraction, such as camping, hiking, and fisihng, many people visit here for weekend.
