Mt. Fuji is symbolic of Japan, and much beloved by all Japanese. Nevertheless, at its base extends a broad expanse of virgin forest famed as a place in which to commit suicide. It is called JYUKAI, "Sea of Trees."

JYUKAI: The Sea of Trees Behind Mt. Fuji
I keep asking where you went in there from!
I told you, Mt. Fuji's "Sea of Trees" is a huge area!
"...Not by car so I don't know"!
Idiot! Don't mess with me!
I've known for ages you don't have a driver's license?
I'm asking where you got off the bus!
Move!
I'm here. Enter from the shrine gate?
Hang on a minute.
Well, well, Hanaoka-san, finally you call me.
You can't get away... I sent that condolence telegram...
because I thought you must have died.
You must pay the interest at least, 15,000 yen, tomorrow morning.
You fail to pay up this time, your family gets a black wreath.
Idiot!
Hey, don't hang up.
Isn't this a hiking trail?
Came here to die, huh?
"...Go straight to the sign"?
"Live, something good awaits you. Recall once more a loved one 3 face."
Didn't you read this?
You should've read it!
Well, even if you did read it, guess it wouldn't change your mind...
"KITAMURA, Kyoko."
She took off.
"Friendship"
Here the additional loan of 30,000 yen.
Interest already withheld, OK?
Onuma Hitomi, you must repay it in 10 days, Thursday of next week.
Thanks.
How lovely your legs are... kind of a waste.
Why not leave the kid somewhere end work? You got plenty left.
Pnchinko pin bolls earn you money, but fondling bolls would really pay.
Koki!
Keep on earning!
Crime for a woman like her to be raising a kid, huh?
What's your name again?
I'm Nishida.
Hey, Nishida,
get me a coffee from that vending machine.
Right?
You...
What did your client say?
I'll cover it myself.
Tatsuya! I've set you up with four fronts.
You've got to have more business sense.
We've got a system. Big deal if you let us down, you know?
Kitamura Kyoko's 23 years old, huh?
We can get a lot more out of her.
I'll squeeze this time.
"Recall one more a loved ones face."
So, you entered from opposite the sign.
"KITAMURA, Kyoko."
No response due to weak signal or the unit being out of service.
"Women, Feel at Ease! SMILE LADIES LOAN"
"KI-TA-MU-RA"
"KYO-K0"
"Nu data available."
Think I didn't know that?!
Is the 'Boss' always like that?
Don't they usually let you keep the change? I was sure he would.
Shut up and work. Idiot!
"K1 TAMURA, Kyuku"
Hello? Where'd you run off to?
What? Mt. Fuji's "Sea of Trees"?
Where the hell is that?
"...Sprained ankle, can't walk"? What you doing there?
"...Kill myself"?!
"...Follow the rope"? Did you put up this rope?
"..Was already up"? Didn't you come here to die?
What's going on here?!
How far does it go...?
HEY, hello, you listening?
Sure walked far enough, didn't you?
Why does a suicide walk so far? Just do it near the entrance.
"...Don't want them to find my body"?
Something strange about you.
Why do I have to come all this way to do my job?!
"...Haven't walked so far, or the cell phone wouldn't work"?
Well, that's true enough...
Kitamura Kyoko!
Hey, did you hear that?
"I can hear..."? Not on the phone, my voice!
No, not the phone! I mean my yelling voice! Idiot!
I yelled "Kitomura Kyoko"!
Kitamura-san! Kitamura Kyoko-san!
Thanks, I'm from Smile Ladies Loan.
Come in.
Forget that mess. How about this month's repayment?
At least get the interest, or I can't go back!
Can't a woman find a way to get money when it comes to this?!
If you want,
I can introduce you to a good place...
What should I do?
Somehow or other, at least get the interest, OK?
I'll be back.
Damn!
There's an odd piece of cloth on the way, you near there?
"Don't know"? You have no sense at all!
Right beside the rope... the rope!
"...Didn't notice it"? Where were you looking?
"...Not there when I came through"?!
I'm gonna kill you!
Hey, the rope splits off in two.
What? "Always go right if lost"? Don't make a fool of me!
"Always go right if lost"?
Hey, why is it only me talking? You should talk sometimes too!
Just sing or something.
"Not good at karaoke"?
Anything is fine, just sing something!
"In that case I'll hang up"? Damn you!
OK. I got it.
Just keep quiet then, but don't hang up.
Hey, you still alive?
That you plan suicide, sprain an ankle and ask for help is funny,
but the rescuer being a loon shark is even funnier!
Why did you call me anyway?
Well that's true... I'm softy.
I bet there's no one else you could call...
Mine's bad, but the other shop cheated you too.
We drove away the people around you.
How did you end up like this?
Started with a credit card?
You don't have tn say, everybody's the same.
You were born in rural Tochigi right?
We checked your family registration, ID carat I know everything.
77rere is no thing out there. Rural is better off just being rural.
Sure there's Denny's, MsDonalds Uniglo... really no thing much.
If your parents are farmers you'll accept that life.
They work jobs, but are lost in between.
Nowhere to work, nowhere tn go, pretending you're more than you are.
You know you shouldn't stay there...
Standing reading in convenience stores; feeling there is somewhere better.
But when you get there, you stand there reading too.
Why'd you read the handout anyway?
"Confidential, low interest, unsecured loans quickly, no questions asked!"
Isn't it an obvious lie? You don't know even that?
People like you...
should stay away from places like mine!
It's the worst scum of society that comes to these places!
People who'll do anything for money come to us!
You listening to me?
Hey, did you swallow something?
"Cold pills... the whole bottle"?!
Quick, throw it up! You might really die!
What the...!
Damn!
Can she...
really be in here?
At the end of this rope,
somewhere?
Tatsuya is it!
One, two, three, four...
five, six, seven, eight...
nine, ten.
"...A loved one's face."
"Friendship"
What should I do?
Got it!
Oh, please, please answer!
In junior high I couldn't go on the school trip.
Principal said a problem child like me couldn't go along.
I defiantly said nobody would want to go,
but really I felt left out.
Classmates collected money to get me a souvenir.
They got an ornament of the Tokyo Tower!
"Friendship" was written on it.
Who'd ever buy such a thing?!
Thought they were ridiculing me, got mad and smashed it.
I was trying to be such a cool guy...
but they all hated me.
Moved to Tokyo, went up the Tower...
Went up alone, somehow bought that same ornament,
the tower with "Friendship" written on it.
Seeing that tower on your place was like a stab in the heart.
Why do you...
why do you have that thing?
Why do you have it too?!
Hey"...
Stay there.
At the end of the rope.
Stay there.
Hey!
Hey, come around!
Hey!
What...
should I do?
"What... do?"
It's already decided.
We'll go back together...
We'll go back.
"SMILE LADIES LOAN"
Better if I'd just been killed properly.
Yeah, an M16 would've been better than the MP 'Short.'.
But the 'Short' is lighter. Better for this rough terrain.
Lighter, but this is like Vietnam so the M16's the one.
Last ball of rope. Maybe too far into this place.
You gettin' scared? Don't won?!
Just till the rope runs out. Still haven't found anything.
Internet said Mt. Fuji's "Sea of Trees" is full of corpses, but nothing!
Next time how about a survival event?
Great! But not desert camouflage, forest type.
Get Ghillie camo suits too!
Definitely use M16's. Come out, Vietcong!
Mt. Fuji's "Sea of Trees"...
Maybe follow this...
After! Get out, then what...?
Going back leads to hell too...
"HELP ME"
"'FRIENDSHIP' M. Saneatsu"
Let me die! Don't stop me!
I beg you. Don't stop me!
Please! Please!
Please! Please...
Guess I'm a bit early...
Embezzled 500 million yen...!
"Suspect Asakura Missing: Organized Crime Behind It?"
Yamada-san?
Oh... are you Saegusa-san?
- Excuse my calling you at work. - It's OK.
Sony to call you out like this.
Not really the best place, but I...
I'm...
"'Tokyo Detective Bureau K. SAEGUSA, Investigator"
Ah... here's mine. Nice to meet you.
You got a promotion.
Huh? In April, to Section Manager.
How'd you know?
Well...
Why did you want to see me today?
Not so nice to talk standing...
Right...
Excuse me for a moment. Sony.
Hello.
Hello, still at work?
No, already left. Meeting somebody.
So I'll be home rather late.
You be OK tomorrow?
Huh? Tomorrow?
Consultation about our son is courses!
Oh yeah, I'll leave work in the afternoon.
Make sure. I tic an important time now.
I understand.
Be home for dinner; right?
Ahh... don't think so.
What! You should've told me earlier! I prepared yours tun.
Sony, Sorry.
Well, don't be too late!
OK.
- Yamada-san... - Oh, excuse me.
- This place OK? - Sure, anywhere.
Welcome!
- So... - Well...
Please go ahead.
Go ahead, Yamada-san.
Excuse me, but why are we meeting today?
Right,
it's worrying when on investigator suddenly calls.
Don't want to make a big deal of it, but...
this your business card, Yamada-san?
"YA MA DA Toshio Asst Section Manager."
One I used until March.
And it's you in this photo, Yamada-san?
Why do you have this picture?
The woman beside you...
Huh, who's this?
You don't know her?
When could it have been taken...?
You really don't know her?
Who's that?
You can't be investigating whether I had an affair with her?
Tofu, snack beans.
That's not the case?
No such thing!
I've never cheated on my wife? That's your investigation?!
Well...
The woman in the photo is Yokoyama Masako.
Disappeared three months ago.
Disappeared?
At the parents request I looked everywhere for her.
Recently her body was found in Mt. Fuji's "Sea of Trees."
That photo and your card were found with her...
Hang on, hang on! This has nothing to do with me!
Sure that's me in the photo, yes, she had my card,
but I don't remember her!
Wait, I'm not implying that you killed her...
Sony, excuse me.
Wait! Wait, Yamada-san, hold on, please wait a minute.
- Enough! - Please.
Please, just a little longer.
Stew.
Anyway!
The police confirmed through autopsy that she died by suicide.
I'm not investigating foul play.
Her parents can't understand what led to her suicide.
A young woman with a normal life...
goes out one day and kills herself in the "Sea of Trees."
Her parents just want to know how this came about.
Actually...
I thought there was probably something between you two,
but it seems I was wrong.
Still, there's no question that you and her did meet.
Can't you try to remember?
I really can't recall...
But maybe a business social event, I go once or twice a month.
Have some drinks, take a photo, hand out my card, not unusual is it?
Different if you meet again, but I can't recall every encounter.
Why'd she have these when she killed herself?!
Creepy, and frankly, a real nuisance.
That's true.
Why investigate me when I've done nothing wrong?
I'm so sorry to trouble you.
Weren't there any other things found with her?
There were.
A love letter received during her junior high days,
also a travel postcard...
several photos. She was smiling in all of them.
I can't know for sure,
but perhaps Yokoyama-san...
took just happy memories with her.
Please,
won't you try just once more to remember something.
Happy memories"?
Guess I have to...
Draft beer, please.
One draft?
Isn't this the Japanese national team uniform?
- National team? Soccer? - Yeah.
Got it! World Cup! This was during the World Cup!
So that's it...
That's when I met her...
I want tn spread nut my wings.
And ﬂy up into the vast sky.
The night of Japan's first win over Russia.
After work I dropped by a bar where fans were celebrating.
She ended up beside me.
Japan! Japan!
Thank you.
Inamoto!
Amazing!
Here's my card. Get in touch if you need anything.
Wow, that's a major corporation!
Nothing special. Just a lowly guy with a salary.
Instead of "I'd Wish for Wings,"
I prefer "To A Distant World."
Huh?
Don't know "To A Distant World"?
Of course I know it, but...
For the junior high choir contest our choice was...
"I'd Wish for Wings" or "To A Distant World."
We would decide which to sing by a vote in the class.
I was going to put up my hand for "To A Distant World,"
but everybody else chose "I'd Wish for Wings."
A bit after the others,
but in the end I put up my hand for "I'd Wish for Wings."
I drought she was a bit unusual.
"I'd Wish for Wings" was sung at the World Cup in France,
so we sang it here.
But "To A Distant World" has no connection at all with soccer!
Obvious that she's strange to suddenly mention that song.
- And then... - "And then"?
And then what happened?
Nothing much... celebration continued,
then we went our separate ways.
And that's all?
That's all.
Is that so.
Sony I couldn't be of more help.
No, you remembered a lot.
Thanks so much.
- Please help yourself. - Thanks.
The World Cup... great time, wasn't it?
All of Japan was celebrating.
We won't see that again in our lifetimes.
No way.
When a point was scored strangers hugged in delight,
then sang arm in arm with the victory!
Hard to imagine that now in our regular lives.
It's like all of Japan was engulfed in a feeling of solidarity!
That's really how it was!
You know,
Yokoyama-son was a part of it, too...
Yeah.
Excuse me... washroom.
"Feeling of solidarity..."
Korean pancake. Eat it with this sauce.
Tn a distant world Haw about a journey...
Ah! Is that what she meant?
Thank you.
Yamada-san, you think too much.
She killed herself more than a year after the World Cup.
Even assuming she was considering suicide then,
there was nothing you could have done.
When you say it like that I just start to think more about it.
Anyway, have a drink.
So you were already familiar with the song "To A Distant World"?
It was in a junior high text, we song it in music class.
Oh, you mean that song was in a school text?
Yeah. Did you know the song?
Sure, it was popular when I was in university.
Year before the Osaka World's Fair...?
That song's from a time when everybody was full of hope.
Hmm... a time full of hope.
I was entering elementary school.
Don't know if I had hope. I can't remember.
Did you go the World's Fair?
Yeah, with my university friend's.
I went with my family, our first big trip together!
Just an overnight trip to Osaka, but we prepared for a week!
Yeah,
I guess we did have high hopes.
Saegusa-san, where is your home town?
Shizuoka Prefecture.
What! Where in Shizuoka?
From around Yui. Oh! You from Shizuoka too?
From Shirnlzu! Hey, we're neighbors!
So we grew up seeing the same scenery!
Yeah, Mt. Fuji every day.
Saegusa-san, got a cigarette?
I quit two years ago.
Oh? I quit also. Wife nagged me into it a month ago.
Ah, who cares. You sell cigarettes?
Go out, take a right, on your left.
I'll go buy some smokes.
Oh...!
What's wrong?
She died in the "Sea of trees," right?
I see...
She died on the rear side of Mt. Fuji...
"5000 yen"
I could treat him...
Change for 10,000 yen.
Saegusa-san, what was your dream as a child?
Let's see...
Predictable, but I guess to be a pro baseball player.
Nothing wrong with a kid dreaming that!
Recently! Re-read my elementary school yearbook,
and came to despise myself.
What do you think my dream for the future was?
Don't know...
Just wanted to be a salaried worker.
So, your dream came true!
Don't be so sarcastic!
It's not sarcastic.
You're a Section Manager in a major corporation.
Major corporation?!
Scale is big, but it's a sinking ship.
How much do you think my monthly pocket money is?
Just 30,000 yen, 30,000!
Right now I've only got 5,000 yen in my wallet?
No way to live on that!
All because my wife got me to buy a house...
way out in Chiba when price had peaked!
Place cost 48 million yen, now it's worth only 15 million!
For that I spend three hours a day on crowded trains.
I'll be paying that loan for 20 more years.
My kid goes to a private school but my wages never go up.
And I have to live on just 30,000 a month!
That's how it is for a manager in a major corporation!
I'll take your plates.
Lately I've really been wondering if it was a mistake to many her at all
I'm sure she was my downfall. Definitely.
Haven't you ever thought your wife was your downfall also?
My wife passed away two years ago, stomach cancer.
Oh!
Sorry...
It's OK. Actually...
we got along pretty well. No kids, just us two...
I had noticed that she had really bad breath.
"Babbled..."?
Oh, "bad breath"!
There's a Silver Anniversary you know, 25 years of marriage.
Right.
Just the two of us went to a restaurant in Ginza...
to have little celebration.
That's the first time I noticed...
my wife's bad breath.
But I couldn't say anything to her about the matter.
"Dear, breath': bad."
About six months later she collapsed.
By then it was too late.
Sony to hear that.
Her will to live was incredible.
Last order.
Three operations,
side effects, she persevered.
I realized for the first time how strong she really was.
Doubt she'd have lived even if I'd mentioned the breath, but...
knowing I didn't say anything...
that I couldn't tell her...
It's rather...
I used to be a salaried worker too, General Affairs,
rather like you, Yamada-san.
Really?
I'd asked much of the company while caring for my wife,
and after she died I was pressured into quitting my job.
I managed to get by for a while,
but thought I should find work, so checked the classifieds...
and was struck by the word 'defective.'
I told you I wanted to play ball,
but also I've always been a fan of novels about 'Detective Akechi.'.
But dreams and reality differ, one year later I'm still learning.
Every day my younger superior gets mad at me...
Thank you!
- Yamada-san... - Yes?
Have you ever seen Mt. Fuji from the rear side?
No, never.
During this investigation...
I saw it for the first time from the "Sea of Trees" side.
It gave me a strange feeling.
Although it's the same mountain, it somehow looked different.
Looked like a different Mt. Fuji than the one we're familiar with.
People also...
have different sides, I think.
Yokoyama Masako-san surely had many happy memories.
I wanted to find them to pass on to her parents.
Payment please.
I want to gather the details of her life, to have proof she had existed.
8,200 yen.
Didn't she exist for 24 years? How sad if all memory of her fades.
3:200 yen please!
We are speaking of human life and death!
We are...
speaking of life and death...
together.
Please excuse my rude behavior.
Not at all, you impressed me.
I'd had enough of that sewer too.
But I didn't have the nerve to say anything.
Your train': still in service?
Probably just make it.
- Yamada-san... - Yes.
Please take good care of your wife.
Yes.
I'm really so grateful for today.
"10, 000 yen"
Saegusa-san!
How about one more place?
Why don't we go to karaoke?
Somehow! Have a sudden urge to sing "To A Distant World."
And could you tell me everything you know about her?
I'm nobody special,
and it doesn't change much if I do remember,
but this time without fail I want the memory of her to remain with me,
not just another 'her, '
I mean Yokoyama Masako-san. ss
I'm not good at explaining...
Yamada-san...
I'll pay this time. We been saving this for such an occasion.
So, let's go.
Tn a distant world...
Yamada-san, that's not right. It's...
Tn a distant world...
Oh yeah, that's right.
Tn a distant world Haw about a journey.
Or else why don't we Ride on a red balloon.
On top of the clouds Why don't we take a .stroll...
You really did die.
"SMILE LADIES LOAN"
Tanaka.
Forgive me, Tanaka-san...
I didn't intend to come back but...
I took a wrong turn.
"I'm sorry my money matters have caused such trouble."
"I am worn out."
"Forgive your weak father, who has come to this."
"I want to leave you the 50 million yen in life insurance."
"Make sure it doesn't fall into their hands."
"Yesterday I saw lovely Mt. Fuji."
"Reminded me of seeing it from Hakone on a company trip so long ago."
Tanaka-san...
Heard once you're lost in the "Sea of Trees" you never get out.
Well, I don't want to leave anyway.
If I get out I'll be caught by the police or...
just have to live on the run.
Storied with just an instant': evil deed.
After that they used me, and I became worse and worse.
They said we'll share the same fate,
but I didn't realize it would come to this.
At last I understood, but by then it was too late.
Tanaka-san, guess you can understand howl felt at the time.
I looked up "share the same fate" in the dictionary.
You know the original meaning?
"Share the same fate" comes from Buddhist teaching.
It means after you die you'll be reborn together in Paradise,
all on the same lotus blossom.
After reading that I thought about...
being with them even after death.
That would be terrible.
That really opened my eyes, and I told them I wanted out.
And now look what it has come to...
Tanaka-san, what was the moment of death like?
I was beaten and kicked,
and thought I would die.
It's shameful but I begged, crying "help me."
But I found...
these guys couldn't understand Japanese.
I'd been told we'd "share the same fate,"
but they'd hired someone else to finish me off.
I begged guys to spare me in a language they didn't know.
Ridiculous, isn't it?
At some point the pain stopped,
and at last! Passed out.
But with that they thought I was dead,
they too were complete fools.
Can't get hungry if you're dead.
Tanaka-san,
since earlier...
fact is you smell pretty bad.
Must be tiring hanging there,
sorry I didn't think about it.
Tanaka-san, your body...
is worth 50 million yen.
Isn't that cheap? Or perhaps expensive?
To be worth 50 million yen in that condition, Tanaka-san,
is really something.
As for me,
only had value as long as I could be used,
then they just dumped me in that hole.
I'm just trash.
Tanaka-san, the scene you saw at the end...
must have been just like this.
It just realized something bad.
Tanaka-san, why'd you end your life in a place like this?
By dying here you'll just become trash.
If your body isn't found,
the insurance won't be paid.
"New Release Today"
7112 local train will soon arrive an Platform 3.
Thank you. That's 130 yen.
- So sorry to be late! - Good morning.
'Caster' cigarettes.
Don't tell Michiko-san, that hag makes such a fuss.
That's 120 yen.
That's 130 yen, 70 yen change Thank you.
- Bottled water please. - That's 150 yen.
- Thanks, I'm going. - Thanks.
Kida-san, wait! Can you give me a ride today?
Wasn't lida-san late this morning?
Yeah.
Don't spoil her so much. Tejima-san, you are too easy-going.
Did you think about that 'get-together' party! Mentioned?
'Get-together' puts you off?
Just drinks with station staff to get to know each other.
I don't drink and am not much good of such things.
I'm no good either, but lida-san enjoys them.
To tell the truth, Takagi-san really insists that I invite you.
He blushes and asks "Is Tejima-san coming to the party?"
He looks so innocent, it's really kind of cute.
School kids who smoke on the platform never look like that.
Sure he's always been a train nerd, but...
Sony, but no.
If you don't want to...
I'm home...
Next stop Asahiganka. Change here for the express.
You should use this.
You can use this too.
- This one please. - Yes.
Ah... that's 2,000 yen. Need a bag?
- No, I'll wear it now. - Right.
- Here. - Yes.
Thank you.
Mirror...?
Sorry.
Much obliged.
Thank you.
Electric razors, two.
Special gift wrap, what's it called?
- "Fukusa." - Fukusa, two.
Neckties, three white, two black, four regular ones.
So... four regular ties, how many black ones?
Two.
Oh, you sold one of these?
Yes, sold one yesterday.
Really?
Break time. Always cramped, but suffocating with that curtain.
Inventory makes me realize how much stuff is in this place.
I guess they stock things by statistics,
but I thought those ties would never sell.
Black or white ones sell sometimes.
That makes sense, for sudden special events.
But not regular ties. Nobody buys a tie in a train station.
How long you worked here?
Two years.
I've never sold a necktie, even in the previous station.
First for me, too.
Of course. Who bought it?
Just a typical customer.
We sell them, so I guess it's not odd to buy them...
Nice to sell something that seldom sells.
Why': that?
People buy these items because they have a sudden need for them.
Their need may be short-term, but still they're useful items.
Items that seldom sell will someday meet a need,
and are patiently waiting. Admirable if seen that way.
I understand, but it's a little strange.
Is it strange?
You're odd, Tejima-san, but that's not a bad thing.
Others criticize their husbands or brag about kids,
Iida-san just talks about men.
It's nice working with you.
This too is waiting, in an admirable way.
I don't want memorial items to be waiting.
Excuse me...
Looks like inventory, but can I buy cigarettes?
- Which 'Mild Seven'? - 'Super Light.'.
Here, the extra-light ones.
- That's 270 yen. - Oh, sorry.
- Thanks. - Thank you.
The vending machine sells them, but he came here especially.
Oose-san, everybody says 'Seven Star' but...
actually it's 'Seven Stars.'.
You're right.
But you are strange.
Good night. Excuse me.
Tejima-san!
- Good evening. - Good evening.
Tomorrow's your day off, isn't it?
I'm off too.
If you like perhaps we could see a movie...
I'm busy tomorrow.
Is that so?
You didn't come to the party we had recently.
I thought it would be nice if we could talk...
Oh, I didn't mean anything weird...
Heard you graduated from Ochanomizu Women's University,
and worked in the head office of a bank.
I was impressed and realized how little I know about you, so..
