In Japan, outdoor activities and safety greatly concerns the public due to the country's mountainous terrain and a large population engaged in various outdoor activities. Rescue operations, like this one, highlight the efficiency and effectiveness of the country's rescue systems and teams.

In comparison to the US or EU, Japan generally places a heavy emphasis on public safety, especially in terms of outdoor activities. Rescue protocols are quickly implemented at the local and national levels, similar to the speedy responses of organizations like the Mountain Rescue Association in the US or the Mountain Rescue Service in the EU.
