A tour bus packed with Korean tourists keeled over on a snow-covered road in Hokkaido, Japan, Sunday. All the passengers were reported as safe.
According to reports from Japan’s NHK, a bus carrying 34 Koreans toppled over near Kamifuranocho in Hokkaido around 4:40 p.m. on Sunday.
NHK had initially reported that every passenger including the driver suffered injuries and some were in serious condition. However, it later corrected the report to say that five passengers and the driver sustained minor injuries and others were unscathed.

The bus had been traveling from a hot spring in Bieicho to a tourist attraction in Furanocho. Both areas are within Hokkaido.
A person from the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the injured Korean tourists have received medical treatment from nearby hospitals and that they were being taken to Sapporo, where they will receive additional medical attention.
