Google Translated Description
The distressed person and his three companions were planning to descend from the Hisago-numa Campsite to Tenninkyo, but when they reached the second park, he told his companions to go ahead, so they went ahead and descended. The fact that the person in distress did not return led to a 110 call, and on August 3, while the police, fire department, and Self-Defense Forces were searching, a Self-Defense Forces helicopter found the person in distress at the bottom of a cliff off the trail, and a police helicopter took him in.
