Amazing Road Trip to Aokigahara Forest 🚙

#roadtrips We recently embarked on an unforgettable road trip to Aokigahara Forest, also known as the Sea of Trees. This mystical forest, located at the base of Mount Fuji, is renowned for its lush greenery, unique rock formations, and tranquil atmosphere. We chose to rent a car because it can be quite challenging to get there by public transport. This way, we also had the opportunity to explore the four caves located in the area, which would have been difficult to visit otherwise. ‼️Aokigahara is easily accessible by car, with ample parking available near the entrance. #100waysoftravel #japantravel #japan

Aokigahara: The “Cursed” Forest of Japan 🌳

#forest Aokigahara, also known as the Sea of Trees, is infamous not only for its dense beauty but also for its dark reputation as the "cursed" forest of Japan. Nestled at the northwest base of Mount Fuji, this sprawling forest is shrouded in mystery, folklore, and tragedy. Over time, it has earned a reputation for being haunted, with stories of lost spirits, or yūrei, wandering through the forest’s shadowy depths. The thick canopy and jagged volcanic landscape contribute to the eerie stillness of Aokigahara. While the forest is rich with natural beauty, featuring ancient trees, lava caves, and a unique ecosystem, it is also linked to more tragic associations, amplifying its "cursed" status. #100waysoftravel #japan #japantravel #mtfuji
