[@brittaniebaruch9321]

He just said something along the lines of I don't like people so I spend my days in the forrest... I felt that.

[@TheMovieHero]

Absolutely beautiful, such a difference than I’m used to seeing! Thank you for exploring and sharing with us!

[@ariasaber9737]

This was a very cool video to watch. Thank you so much for making it. I would love to visit Aokigahara forest when I go to Japan.

[@Exjapter]

It's worth it! It's a beautiful place, and it has an atmosphere like no other forest I have ever hiked in.

[@Anna-jr8gu]

Beautiful video, I really enjoyed it thanks for sharing! 😊

[@Exjapter]

Thank you for watching. I really want to go back out there and film some more, but it will have to wait until after corona.....

There are dead zones in certain areas of aokigahara though. I used to always go through the forest towards Shizuoka and there are lots of tracts land where there is no service.

[@JohnyParanormal]

Well said there's pockets of no signal 200m from the shop

[@Exjapter]

I guess it makes sense it happens, but then if you keep moving you should be able to find a place where it works.

[@JohnyParanormal]

@@Exjapter not much good if you got a broken leg ... people who say there's phone service in Aokigahara are passing out bad and dangerous information

[@Exjapter]

And if you forgot to charge your phone etc etc -lots of potential what ifs. There are potential dangers any time you enter a wilderness area, and there are occasional deadzones on the mountain paths around Kawaguchiko and plenty of other places. The point is to dispel the myth that Aokigahara is just some giant spooky deadzone because that just isn't true.

[@JohnyParanormal]

@@Exjapter mate your telling people there's phone signal in Aokigahara ...it's just not true ... your passing out dangerous information... not charging your phone has nothing to do with what I'm saying ...

[@SummerOreosGirl]

What kind of animal is that at 16:34? Great video! I’d love to visit there while it’s snowing. It would make for some beautiful pictures.

[@Exjapter]

That is a Japanese serow, or "coarse pelt deer." I saw one on the very first hike I ever went on in Japan, but they are pretty shy, not like those Nara deer!

[@debbie991]

Wonderful and Infomative Sir 😎👍🏻

[@Exjapter]

Thank you for your comment! There is so much more about that forest that is interesting to know, so stay tuned for some future planned Aokigahara videos. :)

[@02Channels]

@@Exjapter Alright sir 😎.. and about the Poster in that Tree, only you the First One,🤔 who Found that 🙂👍🏻

[@Exjapter]

@@02Channels I couldnt discover who had done it.

[@02Channels]

@@Exjapter Uhm .. it could be if it was the local police, sir, and from all the videos I watched, it was only your video that found a poster, sir .. and it looks like the posters of people were found, sir ?? The problem is in blur 😅,,

[@CintiaLic]

Thank you ExJapTer, beautiful!!

[@Battogami]

Good vid as always! Glad you didn't do a "disrespectful" video like those others!

[@Exjapter]

There are some other decent videos out there I think. I haven't sorted through them but they aren't all bad. There are too many stupid ghost hunter types though.

[@hixxyted1244]

Yeah like one had a pooh in the forest wiping his arse on the camera

[@kananaskiscountry8191]

there is alot of quick sad in mountain areas, i just about lost my wife one yr in the canadian rockies

[@Exjapter]

Wow, that's scary. I can't say I have encountered it here, but I suppose it's possible.

[@kananaskiscountry8191]

@@Exjapter she started sinking and i grabbed her

[@Exjapter]

@@kananaskiscountry8191 wow! That's a really scary experience! Thankfully you could help her get out.

The ribbon is so they can find their way out if they changed their mind or so that someone will find their body eventually . I do believe that's what the legend says. Also people say that they went with a compass and it didn't work once they reached deep into the forest.

[@Exjapter]

I think this is true, generally, but a lot of the tape seems to lead to nothing. So, old sites?

[@xlander-jp1rd]

Interesting point. Not sure I agree would be interesting to know what percentage wanted to just disappear.

[@iceclimber295]

plot twist. This was actually filmed in Wisconsin.

[@Exjapter]

LOL. The snow gives it away.
