21-Year-Old Chinese Woman Rescued After 36 Hours Adrift at Sea Near Tokyo

A 21-year-old Chinese woman was rescued after being adrift at sea for approximately 36 hours, covering about 80 kilometers off the coast of Chiba Prefecture, near Tokyo. The woman went missing from Shirahama Ohama beach in Shizuoka Prefecture on Monday evening during her travels with a friend.

According to reports from various sources including Kyodo News, BBC News, and The Guardian, the woman was found dehydrated but conscious by a cargo ship off Chiba prefecture's Boso peninsula. Two crew members jumped into the sea to rescue her and coast guard helicopters took her to hospital.

The woman had been reported missing after going swimming at Shirahama Ohama beach in Shizuoka Prefecture on Monday evening. She was last seen wearing a swim ring, according to local authorities.

Despite the efforts of the Japan Coast Guard and other emergency services, locating the missing woman proved challenging due to her distance from shore. The woman's friend reported her missing at a nearby convenience store after she failed to return from swimming.

The exact cause of the incident remains unclear, but it is believed that strong currents may have contributed to the woman being swept out to sea. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the matter.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of swimming safety and being aware of local conditions before entering the water. It is also important to always let someone know where you are going and when you plan to return.
