The Suicide Forest
Culturally fascinating and deeply disturbing. The Aokigahara Forest is the most popular site for suicides in Japan, and second in the world only to San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, at a rate of 50 to 100 deaths a year. The authorities sweep for bodies only on an annual basis, as the forest sits at the base of Mt. Fuji and is too dense to patrol more frequently.
