According to the sharing, the two female tourists were hiking with two other people. After that, two people in the group went down the mountain first and contacted the fire department for help. They said that one of the two people had an accident, injured her leg and could not move. The two women had to spend the night of July 14 in a tent on the mountain. The rescue team confirmed that they were still safe. However, due to the dangerous terrain and darkness, the authorities could not ensure the safety of the injured if they traveled by road. On the morning of July 15, a helicopter was mobilized to rescue and bring the two female tourists down the mountain safely. Also on July 14, two other female tourists were stranded on Mount Tokachi, after one was injured. Police plan to search for the victims on the morning of July 15. On Mount Asahi, a man in his 60s was injured in his leg and sent out a distress signal. He was later rescued safely. Following a series of recent incidents, Hokkaido police are urging climbers to prepare adequate equipment, food, first aid kits and clothing, and to submit a climbing plan to police before setting off.
