YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Japan's Aokigahara Forest is one of the most atmospheric and myth-haunted places in the world. In order to investigate the ancient history of those most fascinating of East Asian islands I simply had to visit for myself. What I found there surprised me. It may just surprise you too.

I said some of the words in this script a little bit differently than they would be pronounced if this wasn't YouTube. Including the name of the forest itself. *Aokigahara is a bit of a spicy topic.* Hope you enjoy.

Thanks to Ettore Mazza for the epic thumbnail art.

The video was written, filmed, narrated and edited by humans. No AI was used.
