The regulation of the mountain of Mount Utaki was unraveled for the first time in four years since the eruption which issued 63 dead / missing people. On the 26th, the bereaved families started climbing the memorial from the morning aiming for a place where an important person died.
Hideko Akiyama (61) in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture arrived at the summit around 11:30 in the morning. Putting a photograph of one son and a stewed boiled bird of the favorite on the ground, it seated right before. "Mother came, I'm glad I could come." I put my hands together and shed tears.
September 27, four years ago, in the evening. Mr. Hirokazu, my son 's Hirosaki (then 25) worker from a non - life insurance company, was informed that Mr. Hirokazu was climbing Otakiyama with my colleagues. I soon went into Nagano and continued praying for the safety of the evening at Utaki, but it was useless.
Four days later, I confronted the dead body in a classroom of a closed elementary school near the mountain. "It was an only child, a lovely and raised treasure." The cause of death was multiple trauma caused by a jet. "Why did you go to a dangerous place?" I accused my son who stopped moving.
Four years have passed since then. I have learned quite a lot about Mr. Hirokazu who I did not know before.
More than a thousand visited the funeral. Socializing
