yTrekking & Viewz@ 5. Aokigahara Forest Course / Toukai Nature Road@

The "Aokigahara Forest Course" I walked this time initially made me think, based on the name, "What if I get lost and end up as a skeleton?" (Well, I did get lost in the Tanzawa Mountains before...)

I also thought, "Walking through the forest while looking at the majestic Mount Fuji sounds fun," but in reality, the forest completely covered the surrounding landscape, and even though I was walking very close to Mount Fuji, it felt like "all I could see were trees."

However, since signs are regularly placed, as long as you don't intentionally stray from the course (which you absolutely shouldn't do!), you can have a fun walk through the forest. And the sight of Mount Fuji towering against the deep blue sky, visible at several points where you emerge from the forest, is so breathtaking that it will make you gasp in awe. @@@(Nihedon @ KesaranPasaran Lab)

Apparently, to become a "Ranger," the most elite soldier in Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force, you have to go through some incredibly tough trials in this forest.

š The view of Mt. Fuji and "Lake Motosu-ko" after visiting the Aokigahara forest is magnificent. š

After walking through the forest for a long time like a philosopher, the feeling of awe when I finally reached the shores of Lake Motosu was incredible?it was like a riot of joy!

And beyond Lake Motosu, there was Mount Fuji, the "symbol of Japan"!

I definitely want to hike this course again someday to experience that feeling of awe.

A sword possessing incredible power ?
