Three climbers attempted to climb Mount Fuji before its official opening on July 1st, resulting in a tragic incident. One climber went missing, prompting a three-day search by rescue teams near Shizuoka Prefecture, where they found one individual near the volcano's crater but had already passed away. Two more bodies were discovered in different locations, with experts suggesting they likely succumbed to hypothermia or fell from the slopes. Authorities warn against illegal entry during closure periods to avoid such risks.
