#Japanese officials want ‘selfish’ #MountFuji #climbers to pay for #offseason #rescue
"There have been cases when people have casually made requests to be rescued via mobile phone, as if they were ordering a #taxi.. Other countries require climbers to have #insurance & they charge anyone tt they have to rescue.. #Emergency #services had to be activated to help injured #hikers #everyday during the #climbingseason"
Looks like #tyranny of the #illbred minority.🤔

The call came after a Chinese student, who was rescued twice from Mount Fuji, said he went back the second time to try to retrieve his phone.
