A seven-year-old boy was stranded on Mount Fuji after his father and brother continued their ascent.
The child remained behind on a slope while the rest of the family continued to the end.
Emergency search teams began operations early on a Saturday after the group went missing.
Rescuers found the youth a short distance from the top, and he was transported to a hospital.
The incident took place on August 22, 2026.
Although the family had organized the outing together, the father continued with the brother.
The search was launched after the father and brother overran their schedule.
Medical staff are currently assessing the boy to ensure he suffered no severe injuries.
