Aug 21 (Japan Today) - A 74-year-old man was rescued in the Northern Japan alps on Sunday, a week after going missing, police said.
Kiyoyuki Tsutsui from Hiroshima said he had eaten pieces of chocolate and drunk water from mountain runoffs while keeping himself warm with his raincoat, according to the police. He was found debilitated but his condition is not life-threatening.
Tsutsui slipped on a trail at an altitude of about 1,000 meters in Kurobe, Toyama Prefecture, at around 4 p.m. on Aug 13 and then fell about 10 meters down a slope.
