Mountaineer Ken Noguchi commented on a reported incident involving an American man who climbed Mount Fuji in sandals and needed rescue due to feeling unwell. On his social media, Noguchi expressed his view by saying that while rescues are necessary when requested, there’s a question of whether people rely too much on the availability of such help. He also questioned whether the man submitted a climbing registration or if he camped illegally, suggesting legal actions should be considered. Noguchi expressed concern that some people might disregard rules in Japan, assuming there are no consequences.
