At around 10:00 a.m., an employee at a civic office received a tip about a corpse off the Sangane-san Skyline. Police arriving at the scene found the majority of a skeleton on a slope about 70 meters from a parking lot off the highway.
Thought the age and gender of the person are not known, police believe the body is likely that of a man.
Police are now working to confirm the identity of the body.
