Six years after the eruption of Mt. Ontake voluntary investigation by a family of a missing person 21:21 on August 29
At Mt. Ontake, which has been six years since the eruption next month, when a family member of a college student was missing, he entered the mountain trail for the first time, which still has restrictions, and conducted his own investigation.
Mt. Ontake, located on the prefectural border between Nagano and Gifu, erupted in September 2014, resulting in 63 dead and missing.
On the 29th, a single student who was missing on the 29th, a university student who was 19 years old at the time, Ryota Nomura's father and uncle in Kariya city, Aichi prefecture, received special permission for the mountain trail near the summit where access is still restricted. I entered for the first time.
The two people who entered the mountain trail together with the staff of Otaki Village confirmed the place where Mr. Nomura was, based on the picture taken just before the eruption, and offered flowers.
I was following the places where my belongings were found so far, checking for footsteps trying to escape from the eruption, and using a drone to photograph the situation in places where I could not set foot.
The survey was planned for the first time since the eruption that the restrictions on access to the summit on the Otaki village side were lifted on the 1st of this month, but the weather was initially scheduled for both 7th and 8th of this month. It was canceled due to a defect.
Uncle Masanori, who was with Mr. Nomura at the time of the eruption, said, "I didn't change the appearance of the mountain trail, I remembered that time. I was able to confirm where I fled, so I think it will be a clue for future searches. ". Nomura's family is requesting that they be able to conduct surveys on the mountain trails on the Kiso Town side.
