Further ahead are a shrine and the remains of a gun battery, and while people do enter this area, it is a restricted area, so permission is absolutely necessary to enter.
The other day, I carelessly entered without permission and was strongly reprimanded by the staff. I regret this.
However, I was perplexed that, even though I was only going to pick up a friend, false information such as "there is a missing person" was conveyed to the police, causing unexpected confusion.
While the rules against entering should be followed, I felt that actions that lead to false reporting are truly unacceptable.
Regarding your reply:
I deeply regret my unauthorized entry into the managed area the other day, as it was a violation of the rules. Thank you for pointing this out to me at the time.
However, after reading your reply, there are a few things I would like to convey.
First, I understand that the administrator's decision to inform the police that "there is a climber who has not returned" was a safety management decision. However, the message we received from the police stated that "a report had been filed for a missing person," which caused confusion and left us very perplexed. Regardless of the administrator's intentions, the fact that the police acted on a situation that did not reflect the facts honestly made us very uneasy.
Regarding your suggestion that we should have reported our safe return to the administrator, we felt strongly that we had been caught up in unexpected trouble due to inaccurate information, and we were preoccupied with trying to sort out the situation. To be honest, we had a feeling of distrust, wondering if we had been subjected to harassment, and we hope you will understand that we did not decide to contact the administrator ourselves.
We will abide by the rule that permission is required for entry in the future. On the other hand, to prevent similar misunderstandings from occurring in the future, we would appreciate it if you would provide explanations on the spot and take careful action based on the facts if you decide to take measures such as filing a report.
There is a fence for the Miyajima Natural Botanical Research Institute a few kilometers ahead, so I contacted the institute and opened the fence myself and entered. Where the road ends, the institute is on the left, so I called out to them and they explained to me where the remains of the battery were. Once you get beyond the fence, it's quite a distance, so walking would be difficult. The road is winding and narrow, making it difficult to pass other vehicles. There are collapsed sections of the road, so it's easier to get there by motorcycle than by car.
