Legend of Aokigahara

Story "Ah, I..." "What's the matter, Merry? You look scared all of a sudden." "I suddenly felt kinda sick. :Don't you feel it, Renko? The space we're now is a bit different from normal. :I can also see gaps in the barrier…... Maybe it's a bug in the screen-controlling program?" “Ah, that’s probably because we’re under Mount Fuji, a sacred mountain. ::The air here, no, even dimension here is probably a bit different than in other places. ::You’re overly sensitive to things like that, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it made you a bit nervous.” "Oh, I see, so we're under Mt. Fuji. :But I do know about Mt. Fuji. It's been said there's an entrance to the Netherworld underneath it since ancient times. :But it's a volcano, isn't it? I wonder if it was safe to build a tunnel here." "Stop worrying so much. Just have a drink and stop being so pessimistic. ::When Mt. Fuji was recognized as a World Heritage Site, they designated it as an extinct volcano, so it's no longer merely dormant. Remember?" The Boyu Tokaido was designed just to connect Tokyo and Kyoto, but the government had to do quite a bit to assuage fears and concerns of tunneling under Mt. Fuji. It makes a detour underneath of a sea of trees instead. But there are a lot of bad legends about the woods surrounding Mt. Fuji, so it may have affected the operation and number of passengers that would ride it. With that mindset, the fact that the line runs right under such a forbidden forest was not released to the public.
