Google Translated Description
The person in distress was at the Kiyosato course trailhead at around 8:20 am. He entered the mountain from Seigaku-so and climbed up the old road course to the summit of Mt. After climbing to the ridge line, the wind became strong and it began to rain, so they started to descend from the same place, descending from Kamini-Tsumata on the new trail course. At around 3:00 p.m. on the same day, they descended to the middle of Kamini-Tsumata and the trail entrance, but the Ichinosawa River was swollen and they could not descend, so they called the fire department and requested for rescue. The fire department was notified and a rescue was requested. The fire rescue team and the Hokkaido Police Mountain Disaster Rescue Team were dispatched to find and rescue the person in distress.
