Green Sea & Suicide Forest (2018x7)

Fecha de emisión: Oct 11, 2018

After all the city shots, it was time for nature: In episode 7, Jörg visits the "Suicide Forest" near Mt. Fuji and becomes acquainted with a real danger lurking in the ground. And with rain. From Tokyo Jörg travels to Kawaguchiko, a popular tourist destination and onsen hotspot (we are very, very proud of this formulation...) in the north of Fujisan. It was supposed to be one of the two main topics of this episode, but there was a tiny problem called "weather". The same made the second focus challenging: the visit of the so-called "Suicide Forest", but actually called Aokigahara or -jukei, the Green (Tree) Sea. Fortunately Jörg's camera proved to be water-repellent, and luckily the hired guide dutifully kept to the agreement - instead of staying at home in the bad weather. In this episode of Japan-Dokus 2018 you will get to know the Japanese province a little, without skyscrapers and crowds. You will learn a lot about Mount Fuji and how its great eruption 1,200 years ago created the Aokigahara Forest. Jörg then visits two special places in this forest.
