# OUT & ABOUT in Japan # ... Jyukai ( suicide ) Forest Part 2

                            WARNING <      > WARNING  



      Part 2 of our trip to the Mt. Fuji forest called Jyukai has two videos that are or could be quite disturbing. The first clip has verbal dialogue that could be disturbing, the second has visual footage that is disturbing!! That is why a warning has been given ... you have been warned!!


     Before you watch these videos I suggest you take a look at the PART 1 Story of Jyukai Forest just so you can get an idea of what the journey to the forest is about. It can be found on the home page of this blog in the Top 10 of what is looked at most. Actually I recommend it!!

     With the Japanese MotoGP being one of the sporting highlights here in Japan Tokyo is lucky every year to receive these wicked dudes that fly around the race tracks at 300Ks an hour,  and occasionally, we the public get to meet them too!!

     The venue this year was Dianese's new shop down at Odaiba in Tokyo Bay.

# OUT & ABOUT in Japan # ... Suicide Forest Pt.1

                      WARNING ><><>< WARNING

                           ... THE PICTURES you are about to see ARE GRAPHIC!!

                           ... A DECAPITATED BODY was found by my friends and I

                           ... It was found in the Aokigahara Forest

                           ... This forest is now commonly called JYUKAI

                           ... It's a very popular place to commit suicide

     Aokigahara Forest lies on the North West side of Mt.Fuji in Japan.  It's more recent name, Jyukai, meaning the Sea of Trees is commonly used these days.  This name came about from the many people that ascend/descend Mt.Fuji as on the North West side can be seen this area of trees stretching 35 square kilometers large and is green all year round.

Carlos is standing below to get an idea how far the drop is from the ledge where I'm standing

 

     Jyukai hosts a number of tourist destinations such as an ice cave,  hiking trails and camp sites and near by lakes.  But Jyukai is actually more famous than all of the above for the following 2 reasons.  Jyukai is the second most popular suicide place in the world.  In 2011, 247 bodies were found.  Secondly, Jyukai is host to endless tales of ghosts,  spirits, displaced energy and the Japanese Yurei.  A Yurei is a spirit that lingers close to the body it has just left and has different characteristics to ghosts and spirits. 

# OUT & ABOUT in Japan # ... must be heat stress

     Japan is often considered a country that has strange and wonderful ideas, practices and inventions.  Summer in Japan is considerably HOT as the months of July, August and September roll through and there are all kinds of gadgets seen on the street to combat the soaring humidity and heat.

But it looks like some people just don't seem interested in having some kind of fan or contraption that will cool them down!!  A simple cave man technique of stripping down to the underwear will do!!  :))  This happened very recently on a train here in Tokyo!!
