Google Translated Description
34 people in distress. Fourteen adults, three university students, and 17 junior high school students entered Mt. Furano from the Tokachidake Onsen trailhead at around 9:10 a.m. for a summer vacation mountain climbing trip at a day-care center for children. However, due to thunderstorms before noon, we turned around and started our descent about 1 km before the summit of Mt. The Nukkakushi Furano River was swollen, and they were unable to descend the mountain and became stranded. At around 1:40 p.m. on the same day, they called the police and requested rescue. The Hokkaido Police Mountain Disaster Rescue Team and Fire and Rescue Team members were dispatched to the scene and rescued all the people in distress.
