A 48-year-old left his seven-year-old son alone on Mount Fuji at around 2,440 meters after the boy tired during the climb, telling him to wait while continuing upward with his older son. A mountain lodge worker found the boy at 7:30 a.m. sitting on a bench in fog and rain, alerted police, and sheltered him; police then located the father at the eighth station and ordered him to return, and the child was recovered unharmed.
