A 27-year-old Chinese student living in Japan had to be rescued twice in four days from Mount Fuji.
His first rescue took place on April 22, 2025, after he suffered altitude sickness and lost his crampons during a solo climb, forcing emergency services to airlift him to safety.
Surprisingly, just four days later on April 26, he returned to the mountain to recover his lost phone and personal belongings. Again, he fell ill due to altitude sickness, and was discovered by another climber near the 3,000-meter mark, prompting a second rescue and hospitalization.
The double-rescue incident happened during Mount Fuji’s off-season, a period when trails are closed and conditions are considered extremely dangerous.
Although the climber didn't break any laws, the event triggered public backlash and renewed scrutiny over mountain safety, particularly regarding reckless climbs outside designated seasons and the burden placed on rescue services.
