Google Translated Description
The person in distress entered the mountain from Kamui Sanso (神威山荘) at around 6:00 a.m. on September 25, aiming for Mt. Kamui (神威岳), planning to take a day trip. However, he did not know where to find the ridge leading from the upper reaches of Shuomanai River to Mt. Kamui (神威岳) and climbed the ridge in the direction of Mt. Kamui while paddling through a thick fog. However, due to thick fog, he lost sight of the direction of Mt. In the evening of the second day on the mountain, he called 110 and requested rescue, stating that he could not find his way down the mountain due to thick fog on the ridge near the summit of Mt. In the morning of September 28, the person in distress descended to Kamui Sanso by himself.
