What’s going on inside Aokigahara?!

Today we will discuss Aokigahara, otherwise known as the Suicide Forest that is about a two hour drive from Tokyo, Japan. This mystical forest became famous after a novel was published about it in 1961, but the deaths pre-date the book. We will talk about the forest's dark history, its mystical properties and what is going on in there now from a man who spends dozens of hours each week in there as a suicide prevention specialist.  

National Suicide Hotline: 800-273-8255 open 24/7 365 days a year.
