📍Jukai (Sea of Forest) Nature Trail, Aokigahara Forest

The Jukai Nature Trail in Aokigahara, or the "Sea of Trees," offers a mystical and serene hike through one of Japan's most iconic and mysterious forests, formed from ancient lava flows near Mount Fuji.

Tips for Visiting:

▪️Stay on the Trail: There are many hidden caves in the forest, and it’s easy to fall into one if you stray off the path. It’s strongly recommended to stick to the marked trails for your safety.

▪️Bear Safety: Bears are known to live in the area, so carrying a bell or renting one from a nearby village is advised to make noise and prevent surprise encounters.

▪️Limited Cell Signal: Be prepared for no cell service—download maps or bring a GPS.

▪️No Night Hiking: The forest is incredibly dark at night, so avoid hiking after sunset to prevent getting lost.

‼️Start from Saiko Bat Cave: The easiest way to reach the heart of the forest is by starting at Saiko Bat Cave and following routes 9 and 10.
