A 27-year-old student, climbing Mount Fuji outside the official season, needed two helicopter rescues in just four days.
Initially rescued for losing his crampons, he later returned for his phone, leading to a second perilous rescue.
Suffering from altitude sickness, the student was fortunate to survive this incredibly dangerous situation.
Authorities strongly advise against climbing Mount Fuji during the off-season due to hazardous conditions and limited resources.
