A 79-year-old Japanese man who went missing on Russia's Sakhalin Island after the end of World War II came home Sunday for the first time in 67 years.
Yoshiteru Nakagawa now resides in Russia's Kalmykiya Republic along the Caspian Sea. He arrived at Shin Chitose Airport near Sapporo on a flight from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk together with his younger sister, 75-year-old Toyoko Chiba of Bibai, Hokkaido.
Chiba, supported by a Japanese nonprofit organization, had been visiting Nakagawa at his home since June 21 to arrange the visit.
