Perhaps the most infamous forest in Japan, Aokigahara, located at the northwest base of Mt. Fuji, is not only known for its beautiful scenery, but for being the second most popular place to commit suicide in the world, after the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco. Up to 100 bodies are removed every year.
The forest of Aokigahara is so dense (the meaning of its name is the 'sea of trees') that it's possible to find places that are completely shrouded in darkness. It's really pretty during the daytime, however, and good for hiking. However, it's probably really dangerous to be out there at night, not because of the spooky story behind the forest, but because it is filled with tangled trees and uneven elevation. Not to mention that due to the rich magnetic iron in the soil of the area, you are unable to use compasses, GPS systems, and cellphones.
Would YOU dare camp in this forest at night? Personally, I wouldn't!
