This week, Nihon TV's weekly documentary series "Super TV" (Mon., 9:54 p.m.) explores Aokigahara Jukai, the densely wooded area near Mount Fuji that is famous as a final destination for suicide victims.
Television cameras have never before entered deep into Aokigahara Jukai. The forests have a sinister reputation: For some reason, compasses and even global positioning systems don't work there, so once a person walks in it is very easy to get hopelessly lost -- which explains why the area attracts so many of those who want to end their lives.
During its tour of the forest, the video crew encounters one such person and persuades him to abandon his fatal plan. However, they also encounter at least one corpse.
