4th December
24 hours have passed since I have been stranded in this mountain.
It is impossible to warm myself up in such an old cabin. I feel a little cold but it is still much better than being outside.
I know that the rescue is on its way.
-----------
6th December
No sign of rescue yet.
This snowstorm is probably causing the delay.
I will continue to wait patiently.
-----------
My watch is broken and I cannot tell the date anymore.
I am running short of food.
Water can be obtained from snow but hunger will be hard to bear.
Snowstorm not stopping
-----------
A cold draught is coming from the door. I am glad I brought extra warm clothes with me.
My hand shakes because of the cold and I cannot write so well, but I will not give up.
If I give up it will mean the end of me.
-----------
It is truly unbelievable!
The vicious snowstorm stopped and it cleared up as if by a miracle.
I was found by a rescue team. They told me it is 12th December.
This has been one long nightmarish experience, but it is over now. I will leave this diary behind for those who may need it.
If someone gets stranded again in this cabin, and has a chance to read this diary, this is I want to say to that person:
Do not lose hope! The rescue will come!
12th December *****
--------------------------------------------
The pen pressure got weaker and weaker with each entry, but the last message was written with such clarity and strength as to show that the writer's heart was filled with hope.
It should be noted that, however, that the snowstorm lasted for days until 14th December, and the rescue team restarted the search only on the morning after it stopped.
The writer of this diary was never found, and he is still missing as of today.

Run to the end of the tunnel with all your might!
As always I enjoyed the post! ♡
I just had this weird thought that he ended up being one of those rescuers and he would be "rescuing" other people like him from now on π± LoL ⭐
I enjoyed reading your comment! Thank you π✨
Thank you ever so much ππ✨
Having said that, if I were ever asked to give a Saya In Underworld TED talk, I would ask you to be my representativeπ€£ππ΅✨✨✨⭐
That's so true though! I never thought about that! You are so perceptive!ππππ✨
I like that theory because that would mean he is safe in another world!ππ✨ Thank you for commenting!π⭐
it's actually a rather excellent plot twist if say... Turns out the person in the story is actually alive, well and fine while also living lavishly under new identity in a far away nation...
I need to tone down on reading Cold War stories I guess :D
We welcome a comment from a Cold War expert here ππ⭐
Hypothermia can be pretty scary, huh? I didn't know this was supposed to be supernatural, since I think hallucinating an early rescue and wandering out into the storm is plenty scary on its own!
Y'know, the diary writer wrote dec 12, but they really had no idea what date it was. The diary could just as easily said the 15th, since it was all part of the hallucination. Scary... ;)
I agree it is scary even if he just hallucinated and was responsible for his own demise! π±⭐
Thank you for all your interesting comments! I am sure other people appreciate your comments tooππΈ✨
Thank you for replying so quickly! I felt nostalgic for this site and was so happy to see new entries! I love your translations a lot.
It's true what you say about the difference between American and Japanese ghost stories! I prefer those stories that don't have a clear cause-and-effectπ✨
Thank you! I really enjoyed reading your comments! π✨
I am so happy and honoured that you enjoy my translations. It is not always easy for me because English is only my second language. But I have a passion for ghost stories and I started this blog because I really wanted to share these stories with people outside of Japan. πππ✨
I am ready to worship tuna tooπ€£π✨
I hate cold too although I love wearing winter clothes π§¦π§€π§£⭐✨π
Either he actually died and went to a happier afterlife or he was rescued by otherworldly being and brought to another world.
I feel like the second theory is more likely as his body was never found.
Interesting twist, Ms Saya-san. Thank you for the story. :D
- nunu -
I hope he is happy if he is in another world!
Thank you so much for your comment ❤️✨
