Aokigahara Forest is a vast woodland spreading across the northwestern foothills of Mount Fuji. Formed by the cooling lava flows from the Jogan eruption approximately 1200 years ago, it's a realm of tranquility enveloped in a mystical ambiance. Trees take root atop the lava, creating a unique landscape and fostering a mystical atmosphere that has given rise to various legends and folklore throughout history. Numerous lava caves, formed by voids in the cooling lava, are scattered throughout the forest. Some, like the Fugaku Wind Cave and Narusawa Ice Cave, are open to the public, revealing stunning natural formations such as ice pillars and lava shelves. Aokigahara Forest offers a precious opportunity to experience the raw power and beauty of nature. Well-maintained walking paths ensure safe exploration, allowing visitors to enjoy the diverse plant life and geological formations such as the caves. The surrounding area boasts breathtaking views of Mount Fuji and Lake Saiko, offering a rich natural environment to fully immerse yourself in.
