Malaysian hiker almost lost in 'forbidden' part of Japan's suicide forest

A website says that this is a Japanese cypress tree shaped like an eight-tailed serpent, though we’re not sure that’s what the signboard says.

It's always fun to explore a new place, especially if that place has an interesting history or community, or is shrouded in mystery.

And it is even better if you were to go without reading up too much on the destination prior to your visit. Just get basic information like how to get there and where to stay.
