10 people found so far from a tour boat missing off the country’s northern coast have been confirmed dead. The coast guard said this today.
The boat went missing yesterday with 26 people on board during a cruise off the main northern island of Hokkaido.
Authorities were using aircraft and patrol boats, including seven ships, three airplanes and four helicopters from the coast guard, to search for the passengers and crew of the “Kazu I” after it ran into trouble off the peninsula, which is famous for its wildlife and dramatic coastline.
