Tokyo has mountain trails?

Tokyo prefecture stretches a long way inland and includes a 2000m mountain on its border (Kumotori san).

Sure does, Okutama's great for hiking, biking, camping and onsens. Not all recommended when the weather turns, mind.
Well done to the rescue services.

"was forecast days ahead."
Right on the head. NHK had the following forecast:
20 centimeters of snow within a 12-hour period.

Why are people stating facts - the weather forecast - being downvoted? Weird.
As always, a big thanks to the first responders.

Usually you have to pay for helicopter rescues. Wonder if the Chinese climbers have to.
