These tourists stopped at nothing to get their food needs met.
A group of travelers who hiked up Japan’s Mount Fuji earlier this month were so starving that they called up the Indonesian delivery company Gojek to get themselves some grub.
Footage found by NewsFlare on Aug. 16 showed a deliveryman trekking up to the top of the active volcano for six hours to dispatch snacks to the hungry tourists.
The video showed a group of hikers and their gear waiting at the top of the mountain before a man wearing a neon green jacket came waltzing up the stone steps, carrying large plastic bags containing food.
After he handed the travelers their food, he smiled, waved and quickly made his way back down from the summit — Japan’s tallest peak and an active volcano measuring about 12,388 feet — leaving the group to enjoy their lunch with a breathtaking view.
On Saturday, Aug. 20, a separate takeout delivery person courageously climbed the volcano to bring Domino’s pizza to hungry visitors. The mountain climber was dressed in the fast food chain’s black jacket and boots while wearing a backpack emblazoned with the company logo and full of pizza boxes.
The volcano is now dormant and last erupted from 1707 to 1708. The mountain can be seen from Tokyo when the sky is clear and it stands about 62 miles southwest of the city.
The cultural icon is also covered in snow for five months of the year and the mountain’s summit has a tundra climate.
In 2019, a climber had an unfortunate fall while livestreaming his exploration of a “dangerous” part of the mountain and slipped, with viewers calling the police and sparking a manhunt. There was no word on the fate of the climber.
Japanese authorities recently rescued two U.S. military members who were climbing Mount Fuji in separate incidents.
One rescued airman was from the Yokota Air Base in western Tokyo, while the other mishap involved a sailor from the Yokosuka Naval Base in Kanagawa.
