jisatsu in Japan is not the mortal sin it is in the USA, but if you use the train the authorities BILL THE FAMILY for the time lost due to the train stoppage; in some cases the bill is for $50k OR MORE.

They will also bill you for the cost of a search party if you wander into a forest to freeze.

The family is NOT billed if you drown yourself in the ocean, for some reason.

I'm not making this up.

Re #12

It is true that some of the methods employed have been used too often and incur a lot of cost afterwards. Wandering into a thick forest purposely must be a real pain to the authorities. I heard that this method is featured as a memorable ending to a novel more often than not.:-)

I guess that the best way is to jump off the roof or take a cyanide pill.
