A five-year-old boy, Reo Tanaka, was reported missing on June 21 after vanishing from a hot spring facility in Kirishima, Japan. His parents last saw him around 3:30pm that day during a family visit to the resort, where he was in a private bath with his parents and two-year-old brother. The child disappeared without a trace when his parents briefly left the area to change clothes. Police and firefighters launched a search, but efforts were paused due to heavy rain causing the river’s water levels to rise. On July 17, firefighters discovered the body of a child, believed to be Reo, in the Amori River, less than one kilometre from the resort. The area lacks a fence between the building and the river, raising concerns about the child’s accidental fall. Reo’s mother expressed hope for his safe return, regardless of his condition. Investigators are now working to confirm the identity of the body. The incident highlights the dangers of unsecured areas near water sources and the emotional toll on families during prolonged searches.
