A 27-year-old student from China needed help twice while climbing Mount Fuji in Japan. The first time, he got sick because the mountain is very high. He was rescued on April 22 but left his phone and other things behind. A few days later, he went back to get them and needed help again.

On April 26, another climber found him sick again and called for help. People were upset and thought he should be punished for going back to the mountain when it was dangerous. There are no punishments for needing rescue, but it showed how risky it is to climb Mount Fuji when it's not the right season. The safe time to climb is from July to early September.

After these events, the police reminded everyone to be careful when climbing. The mountain can be very cold and snowy, even in spring. There are no strict rules against climbing off-season, but there are fees and limits on how many people can climb. These rules might be used on more trails soon to keep people safe.
