If any Japanese lose hope in life, or they cant handle the stress of staying alive, they will drive to Aokigahara Forest, not to ease them-self from any stress or life pressure, but to commit suicide.

In the old day of Japan, Suicide was mainly known as Samurai act, or 'Seppuku', it is an act of honor, literally committing suicide is considered as common in Japan.
Along the road going deep into the forest, there are a sign to stop suicidal people, it reads as:
"Your life is a precious gift from your parents, please think about you parents, siblings and children, dont keep it to yourself, talk about your trouble"
