The Japanese had to build a fence around a volcano because people were throwing themselves in too much!

Mount Mihara is a famous landmark on the Japanese isle of Izushima and a staple of Japanese popular culture.

It’s the place where the government imprisoned Godzilla in “The Return of Godzilla”, and played a prominent role in the original version of the movie “Ring”.

For almost a decade, jumping into the boiling lava rivers of Mount Mihara became the hottest way to commit suicide… literally.

In 1933, 944 people jumped in the crater alone! The authorities have since fenced off the vantage point where the jumpers leaped to their fate.

This is said to have stopped the suicides, although there’s no way to be sure. It’s not as if there’s going to be a bodies to be found.
