Aokigahara also known as the Jukai (Sea of trees) is on top of a lava flow from Mt. Fuji in 864 AD. Due to the thin soil in this area and unique shape of the lava, the trees have found very creative ways to root themselves creating some very interesting formations and shapes. We will be starting by the shore of lake Saiko, so you'll get some great views of the lake with Mt. Fuji as well.
We're going to be doing an easy 7km hike in the forest which includes old lava formations, ancient forest, and a wild bird sanctuary. After the hike we will make a short side trip to head to a wild lava tube to do some cave exploration and see the year round ice in the bottom of the cave.
The hike itself is not technical and there is not a ton of elevation change, but it is a very unique environment in Japan.
After the hike, we'll head to a hot spring to warm up after the trip.
