中国游客闭山期独自登上富士山后失联：警方出动直升机搜救未果
日本山梨县警方说，一名20多岁的中国籍男性游客11月8日上午独自从富士山吉田口五合目出发登山，当天11时30分左右与同行友人失去联系，11月10日上午警方、消防与山梨县防灾直升机在山上展开搜救，仍未找到他，登山道周边积雪已超过30厘米。
据警方介绍，这名男子上周与友人一同来到日本。富士山当时正值闭山期，友人放弃了登山，男子独自上山，途中一直与友人通过手机互发视频和消息，8日11时30分左右之后再无音讯。警方说，他没有携带帐篷，也没有雪山登山所需的装备。友人在9日凌晨经熟人协助向警方报案，警方判断他可能已经遇险。
10日上午，警方、消防人员与山梨县防灾直升机对登山道周边展开搜寻，没有发现男子的踪迹。警方说，登山道周边积雪超过30厘米，还有雪崩危险，搜救队将等天气好转后恢复搜寻。
据极目新闻报道，家属称这名男子今年25岁，在国内是救援队队员，去日本前没有告诉家人，中国驻日本大使馆正协助家属加急办理赴日签证。这一说法来自家属，尚未得到日本警方证实。富士山的登山季通常只在每年7月至9月初，闭山期山上天气多变、积雪深厚，日本地方政府多次提醒游客不要在闭山期登山。

Chinese Tourist Missing After Solo Mt. Fuji Climb in Closed Season; Helicopter Search Finds No Trace
Police in Japan's Yamanashi Prefecture said a Chinese male tourist in his 20s set out alone from the fifth station of Mt. Fuji's Yoshida trail on the morning of Nov. 8 and lost contact with his companion at around 11:30 a.m. that day. Police, firefighters and a Yamanashi prefectural disaster-prevention helicopter searched the mountain on the morning of Nov. 10 but found no trace of him; snow around the trails was already more than 30 centimeters deep.
According to police, the man had arrived in Japan the previous week with a friend. Mt. Fuji was in its closed season, and the friend gave up the climb, while the man went up alone, exchanging videos and messages with the friend by phone until contact stopped at about 11:30 a.m. on Nov. 8. Police said he carried no tent and none of the equipment needed for snow mountaineering. The friend, with help from acquaintances, reported him missing to police in the early hours of Nov. 9, and police concluded he may have met with an accident.
On the morning of Nov. 10, police officers, firefighters and the prefectural helicopter searched around the trails but did not find him. Police said snow deeper than 30 centimeters and the risk of avalanches meant the search would resume once the weather improved.
China's Jimu News reported that the family said the man is 25, serves with a rescue team back home, and had not told his family about the Japan trip, and that the Chinese Embassy in Japan was helping the family obtain an expedited visa to travel to Japan. That account comes from the family and has not been confirmed by Japanese police. Mt. Fuji's climbing season normally runs only from July to early September, and Japanese local governments have repeatedly warned visitors not to climb during the closed season, when weather changes quickly and snow lies deep.
