At the end of August, a story appeared in the media and social networks about the adventurer courier, who for the sake of the client climbed to the top of the Fuji Mountain to deliver pizza. This plot is allegedly confirmed by photographs. We checked the story of reliability.
August 25, 2022 on the Malaysian website of World of Buzz ReportedThat in Japan the traveler made an order at Domino’s Pizza directly to the top of the Fuji Mountain and waited several hours. They referred to the user's tweet, who posted a photo of the courier and wrotethat the described event occurred on August 20. As a result, the alleged courier was found on the site of the tracking application during mountaineering and travel Yamap. According to the World of Buzz, the deliveryer accepted the order at about 7:38 in the morning and handed it to the customer after five hours of walking. The cost of the pizza itself allegedly amounted to 3776 yen (for that moment About 1600 rubles), and delivery cost 40,000 yen (about 17,000 rubles).
They also wrote about the incredible courier on many Russian -speaking resources (often with reference to World of Buzz), but at the same time they added new details there. For example, on the newspaper website "Komsomolskaya Truth"Reported that" onlookers looked at the pizzeria website "and made sure that the courier actually works there because they were able to recognize him in one of the photographs posted there. According to Komsomolskaya Pravda, pizza was delivered at noon. On the sites "Gazeta.ru"And TV channel"360 °"They wrote that the pizza was already cooled, and added that the courier refused to comment, but in the pizzeria they allegedly noted that they were glad to please everyone. In these publications they referred to an eyewitness of events, according to which for delivery worth $ 962 (about 57,000 rubles) it took five hours. In addition, Gazeta.Ru noted that “the climber joyfully had a bite and continued his ascent”, but it was not clear where, because he was already at the top of the mountain. IN "Russian newspaper"It is indicated that the courier took six hours to deliver.
There were other sites that tell about this unusual delivery, among them "Radio Sputnik" TJournal, DTFIA "Red spring","Ridus","Island"As well as"Picabu","YaPlakal" And Joyreactor. History diverged on social networks: for example, in a public Just Art The post on the delivery of pizza to the mountain collected 1800 likes and 134,000 views.
To begin with, we note that absolutely all the resources mentioned above were mistaken in the time of alleged delivery. On the site Yamap is really There is a page a man named Umana Futoshi, who is on August 20 I climbed At the top of the Fuji Mountain in the form of a Domino’s Pizza deliver. According to the data indicated on the resource, it took 5 hours 49 minutes on the entire trip to Butosi (it was also taken into account with a length of 50 minutes), that is, almost six hours. At this time, both the rise to the top and the reverse descent enters. In total, the man went 8 km, starting his path at 7:38 in the morning at an altitude of slightly less than 2400 m (about this testifies And one of the first photos). To the top (Peak Kengamina, 3776 m), Futoshi reached 10:51, and already at 13:27 he returned to the starting point of his campaign. This means that he went to the top for 3 hours 13 minutes (during this time he rose by almost 1400 m).
Suppose the media simply made a mistake in the calculations. What about the story itself? It turns out that the courier really delivered pizza to the mountain? Not everything is so simple.
If you carefully consider the Butosi account on Yamap, then you can notice curious details. Now there are three other entries about the ascents that took place until August 20: July 2 - On Mount Oyama, July 23 - On Mount Daibosatsu, and August 6 - Also at Fuji. Another couple of records are deleted, but, thanks to the web archive, you can find out that there were also ascents to Mount Tsukuba (June 25) and once again on Fuji (July 29). By the way, after the 20th there were two records, and both also about Fuji: August 27 And September 3. Moreover, judging by the photo, the man always delivered some food to the top. For example, on Oyama, he brought pizza in the uniform of Domino’s Pizza, to Daibosatsu-some kind of food in the form of Uber Eats, and went to Fuji in the costumes of Demae-Can, Domino’s Pizza, Pizza-La and even delivered sushi in a cook costume.
If we assume that this is some kind of professional courier working in several companies and specializing in the delivery of food to the mountains, then the amazing coincidences do not end there. For example, according to the images of checks, the cost of food delivered to Fujzia, whether it is pizza or sushi, is always equal to the height of this mountain (3776 m). We could not find information about the huge cost of delivery at all. On the contrary, in the check, supposedly from Domino’s Pizza there was a 50% discount due to a long wait for delivery to Mount Oyam-then Pizza cost only 540 yen (214 rub.).
In addition, every ascent of Butosi on the Yamap website has a funny description. Most often at the beginning, the author writes that he was mistaken: confused the address, entangled in the maps or could not cope with the difficulties of the Japanese language, and as a result, instead of the right address, he had to climb into the mountains. The texts are always the same end: "I will be the delivery king!" And July 2, he toldAs in a store by the road, the old man saw him and was delighted: “Hurray! Pizza is now delivered to Oyam! ” However, Futoshi immediately upset him: "Excuse me, I'm fake." The description of his profile indicates that he delivers “surprises and smiles”.
The thing is that the Uman of Futoshi is not a real courier. In fact, he is an office worker who likes to go to the mountains, cosplay of deliveryers. Instead of pizza and other food, its bag is filled with various equipment and essential items that can come in handy on a walk. August 23 on the website of the TV ASAHI television network It turned out A small interview with this climber-user. Futoshi said that about a year ago he received a thermo -mosum from Uber Eats and then thought that it would be great to climb Mount Fuji. After a positive reaction of people rising uphill with him, he decided to cosplay other delivery services.
Thus, despite the statements of the Russian and foreign media, the futosy does not work as a pizza as a pizza and did not take a lot of money for delivering food. Apparently, some of the materials are simply invented.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the Ridus publication. In general, there Described The same story: the courier delivered pizza to Mount Fujiyama in six hours, 3776 yen had to pay for food, and 40,000 for delivery. However, the frames that are not related to the case are attached to the material: they are not shown foothouses, but another person. At the same time, in Ridus they referred to the New York Post, where told A similar, but still another story, and futosy is mentioned only in passing, without details. According to Ny Post, a video appeared on August 16, which captures the deliveryer of the Indonesian company Gojek. This courier allegedly also brought food to Mount Fujiyama.
The video shows how a person in a jacket with a logo Gojek hands the operator a bag of food, and then supposedly descends from the mountain. However, with a detailed study of the tweet from the video, we found out that the courier himself posted the record, since he owns an account, which is clear by numerous photo. From his earlier tweets, one can understand that a person with a video climbed Mount Fuji along with several people, as evidenced photo And video with his group, as well as A ticket of a ticket. In addition, in remnas and personal correspondence, we asked him if he works as a courier or just put on a jacket of a delivered for a funny video. He confirmedthat it was just a joke.

Most of the untruth
- Is it true that KFC and Booking.com posted in Germany advertising about “chicks from Ukraine”?
- Did Jen Psaki spoke about Ukrainian tourists in the Rostov mountains?
- Is a photograph of a mountain range in the form of a sleeping woman true?
