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 firefighters were dispatched to rescue all those in distress.
