May 20 (NHK) - Officials of Japan's southwestern island town of Yakushima say all the people stranded on a mountain have descended by Sunday evening.
The officials say 314 people, mostly hikers, were stranded on the mountain after mudslides triggered by torrential rain blocked roads on Saturday.
The stranded people stayed overnight on the mountain before descending on foot to where waiting buses took them to a police facility on the island.
The officials say three of them are being treated at a hospital for symptoms similar to hypothermia.
