實地探訪「自○森林」富士樹海，這裡究竟是怎麼樣子的？

Hello everyone. Today I am going to Aokigahara sea of trees. Aokigahara sea of trees is a forest at the foot of Mt. And it is also called "Fuji's sea of trees" Fuji's Sea of Trees is said to be the most famous place in Japan for suicide and has a bit of a scary image. There seem to be some caves around it and some trails to walk around so I would like to go there for a while. Then I'm off. There are several walking routes in the Aokigahara Sea of Trees but this time we will take the nature trail and visit the famous caves called Narusawa Ice Cave and Fugaku Cave. After arriving at Mori-no-Eki Fugetsu , go to the entrance of the nature trail. Aokigahara Sea of Trees is called "Fuji's Sea of Trees" because the windswept forest looks like an undulating sea. Hey, look at this tree. It's got a lot of roots down there. Fuji's sea of trees is a forest formed on the lava that flowed during the eruption of Mt. Fuji. Because the trees grow on the hard lava their roots do not reach deep into the ground, but spread out horizontally. Because the roots are shallow, the trees tend to fall over during typhoons and many fallen trees can be seen. Isn't there a lot of moss here? Even the roots are covered with moss. You can tell that time has passed. It's a bit like The Princess Mononoke. Beautiful moss is one of the highlights of the sea of trees. There are cracks in the ground and many small caves here and there. There are a few here and there. Remains of gas pits Traces of gas trapped in the ground after the surface hardened. This is actually the foot of Mt.Fuji It was probably caused by the eruption. The footing is bad because it is a nature trail. It's 1.4 km, so it's quite a strenuous walk. I heard that it is dangerous to go off the trail. I think it's definitely not allowed. There could be dangerous animals or something. It is said that "once you get lost in the sea of trees of Mt. Fuji, you will never get out again. This is because if you leave the boardwalk, you will find nothing but trees everywhere you look and the scenery is similar to what you are used to. n fact, there is a well-maintained promenade with many signs, and there are parks, observatories, and other tourist attractions nearby, so it is generally not impossible to get lost while sightseeing or strolling. We walked for about 15 minutes and are now about 2/3 of the way there. There was a place to rest here, but the benches are covered with moss and it is impossible to sit on them. Sometimes the shadows of the trees look like people. You can see different kinds of trees supporting each other and growing upward, and you can feel the life force of nature. The world of My Neighbor Totoro. It looks a bit like a tunnel. Tunnel of trees The tunnel of trees goes on and on. There is a warning at the entrance. A sign is posted at Fuji' sea of trees known as a "suicide spot", to emphasize the importance of life. Narusawa Ice Cave A pit-type cave and a national natural monument. A fantastic place covered with ice all year round 91 steps down and 101 steps up. The ceiling height is so low that you have to bend down to continue. Then I go in. It's so cold. The temperature suddenly drops, doesn't it? Isn't it amazing? This change in temperature. It's like a natural refrigerator. Watch your head. The ceiling gets really low. It's still better here, but there are places where you really have to bend down to move forward. Isn't the ceiling too low? If you don't bend down, you probably won't be able to reach it. Do you see it? It's so low. It's scary. And there's a little bit of water dripping. I hit my head. You hit your head? It was wirrten that you should be careful. The ice wall, which recreates the time when it was actually used as an ice storage facility. No wonder it's so cold. It's a mysterious world. It's a mysterious world. It was about 25 degrees outside, but here it was 0 degrees. It was extremely cold. Be careful because the temperature suddenly rises. It suddenly gets hot. The ice cave we just saw. It explains why it was cold. Narusawa Ice Cave is a vertical cavity left after the lava from Mt. Fuji's eruption cooled and shrank, and the high-temperature gas inside exploded with a bang. It was quite narrow, the stairs were steep, it was cold, and we had to bend over because of the low ceiling so there were many challenges. But it was an interesting experience. There aren't many caves like that, are there? We returned to the entrance of the sea of trees Now we will visit Fugaku Wind Cave. Maybe the mechanism of the ice cave and the wind cave are different. Helmets are also available here. If you are worried, please use it. Isn't it very old? This one. It was formed by the eruption of Mt. Fuji. Fugaku-Fugetsu (Wind Cave) This is a national natural monument. It was used as a natural refrigerator at a time when there were no refrigerators. Entering Fugaku Wind Cave. Very long stairs. It's a cave, so you can't help it. Didn't it suddenly get cold? It's so cold. It's very cold from here. What? Bats? And it was pretty close. It seems to be a cave. Yes, it is. I'm afraid of bats. There are children in the back, so I shouldn't scare them. I think this is the first time I've seen bats in the wild. There are so many amazing bats out there. I'm scared, what should I do? I'm really scared. Shall we run? I think it's dangerous to run Of course they know that there are bats in the park and the people there know that. It's like something they built at Disneyland or something. It's like an attraction. It's bigger than the Narusawa Ice Cave, so I guess it's easier for the bats to be active. This place is amazing. A natural refrigerator. A natural refrigerator The average temperature in the cave is a cool 3 degrees Celsius, and it was used to store silkworms and seeds until the early Showa period. Acorns. The ceiling is also low here. Low! Why aren't there any warning signs? Reticulated lava. This is Hikarigoke. Hikarigoke. Moss that glows emerald green by reflecting faint light with lens-like cells. The number of people increased. They must be on a school trip or extracurricular study. The temperature in the cave is so different from those on the ground. You can see the boundary between the two. It was interesting. But I think I'm going to catch a cold, it's so cold. Excuse me, can I have a bowl of corn ice cream, please? I was a little curious about that. It really smells like corn. How does it taste? It's like eating cold corn soup. It's so strange. Udon noodles in Yoshida Udon is a popular local dish in and around Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture. I had an image of houtou as a specialty of Yamanashi but this udon in Yoshida seems to be a quite famous specialty of Yamanashi. The noodles are very thick. They are extremely hard. The more you chew, the more you can taste the wheat flavor. Anyway, each noodle is thick, so it is very satisfying. The soup is really tasty. It looks light, but when I drank it, I found it to be a very thick broth. This Fuji cup is cute. How do you like it? It's not so smooth, it's more like a rough texture, isn't it? It has a very wheat-like texture, doesn't it? Some people may want to eat udon noodles that are smooth and silky. How was it? This time we went for a walk in the Fuji Sea of Trees. The Fuji Sea of Trees is not only a place where life ends but also a place where life continues with its powerful plants and mysterious caves created by lava flows. It has mysterious parts and mysterious power and I encourage everyone to see and feel it with their own eyes. That's all for today's video. Bye bye~.
