## Caption

A father has been reprimanded by police after leaving his son on Japan's highest mountain for several hours with just a soft drink and snack. 
 
The seven-year-old was spotted sitting on a bench on Mount Fuji in foggy and rainy conditions.
 
His father reportedly told him to "wait here" after the boy complained he was tired - and continued the climb with his elder son.
