If you ask for help in case of your disaster in mountains, it will cost too much and is on your expense in Japan. Sometimes it will do 1,000,000 yen with a helicopter. So recommendable to have some insurance which can care you in case of your disaster. And never fail to offer your plannig to the mountain office before you will climb to mountains.
