Episode 58: Forests - Aokigahara Forest
Welcome back to episode 58 and our last week exploring Forests. This week we get spooky ooky in none other than Aokigahara Forest also known as the Suicide Forest. We head into the eerie depths of this ancient forest at the base of Mt Fuji where we encounter angry spirits, demons, curses and more. We also get more serious than we ever have before as we delve into our varying thoughts on suicide and the near crisis levels of it that Japan is facing. This one is a hard one so definitely be prepared to feel the feels.
