Yuki is the true legend. -- He helped a girl who was in trouble. -- He hugged her -- And he goes to the forest on his brother's birthday ever since his brother passed away. Tons of respect goes to yuki.

[@goodbad-boy]

He was probably at the forest to commit suicide. Lots of people camp there before they take their own lives

That sure scared me 😱 But later on I would just lay down on the porch for the stargazing and went into the house after 30 minutes or so lol.

But in English they were telling the American that they were being followed by the creepy man , who he could see standing behind him he understood and played along with the girls and acted like old friends which made the man walk away.

[@user-mp4wk5ev6b]

Creeps and stalkers are really a problem here in Japan. My family is very cautious and always advice my sister (who's quite pretty) to not let her guard down. And yet, I once saw a man approaching her, probably thinking she was alone, but as soon as he saw me, he changed directions. She was dressed like an Eskimo, so there was nothing about her appearance that men would fantasize, and yet the man was approaching her! If any female here ever come to Japan, be careful and avoid walking alone when it's dark.

[@azimabaipaezu9954]

I'm guessing Yuki's brother committed suicide in the forest. That's why he camps out there for his birthday.

[@nitalie7172]

Actually the forest isn’t only famous as suicide forest,it’s also favorite place for tour destination and school trip (if you follow the main track ofc). Inside of the forest you can find a beautiful ice cave called Narusawa Hyoketsu

[@markassko6426]

Well if dude wasnt desperate or dumb decisions maker, story would of been A LOTA different.

[@catwitch2479]

There’s a real stalking crisis in Japan going on currently. I’ve seen articles of tourists who’ve gone there (mainly young women) say that they’ve been exploring the cities as usual and going about their business but they’ve had people (mainly men) following them. It’s not just tourists though, the stalking problem affects everyone and yet it’s still a major issue despite authorities trying to give better protection to victims

[@jenniferng8434]

i understand how people could be friendly and you have to be friendly back. I used to go to a school that was in this small city and everyone was friendly and it made me uncomfortable because the neighborhood is known for violence and if I rejected their greetings things will turn sour, even the homeless people were persistent even when they got rejected for money. Even on the bus people talk loud and join in conversations and a couple times they talk to me which i didn't like and kept trying to talk to me even though i was listening to music loudly which this guy asked how old I am...

[@gabrielagomez6288]

[@taewar2796]

I told my mom that somebody was following me when I was a kid and she said “I hope you weren’t stupid enough to show him where we live” then when I told the officer at school and he called home she said “why the f**k are you talking to older guys? Do you know how stupid you are leading these people on?” Even when I was a little kid anytime this dude popped up she blamed me when I was as young as 6 I was “leading guy on” nothing stopped until I told a police officer at school... I mean I guess I’m just trying to say she’s really lucky her dad wasn’t mad at her.... and I know these sob stories are super annoying so sorry about that bit I guess

MerMer well I was a stupid kid. Some guy smiles at me a couple times and we all said hi a lot so I thought they knew each other and a couple times he asked me personal stuff like how old I am and when my birthday is... just normal kind of stuff. When I told her what happened she said I was flirting with him by telling him all that stuff and I shouldn’t tell people that if I’m not trynna be a whore.... I mean it was just really dumb honestly. Even now she doesn’t acknowledge what happened to me but I can’t really change how she thinks. I think she’s in some sort of denial or something though idek

For the people wondering why would someone take kids into the "Suicide Forest": the Aokigahara forest, aside from being known as the infamous suicide forest, it is also one of the most important/known cultural places in Japan for its history and beauty. Some schools do organize trips there but they do not go into the forest, they just walk at the surroundings. To get into the forest you need permission and a guide (mostly one of the forest keepers) and you are walked only through certain areas. 🇯🇵😊
