Mountain Search in Progress

[Search Volunteers Wanted]

Please search for Ichito Kurasawa, who was reported missing early last week.

- Objective:

Locate and protect the victim. If deceased, recover personal effects or remains and descend the mountain. ※ In case of danger, prioritize your own life.

- Location:

Mount Takekawa (Elevation 1,977m, highest casualty rate in the world)

- Features:

Ropeway available up to 1,300m. Weather is extremely volatile. Locals do not climb. There is a shrine at the summit.

[Amakura Ridge Route] 　⇨ Well-marked and easy to walk, even for tourists.

- Lore:

There are legends of people being spirited away. If the Mountain God takes a liking to you, you cannot escape. However, it is said that one can temporarily retreat by offering a part of their body.

- Taboos:

Do not take anything from the mountain. Do not speak with certainty, such as saying you will definitely return.
