The 21-year-old was found 80 kilometers from shore after being swept out to sea by strong currents and winds.

The woman went missing from Shirahama Ohama beach in Shizuoka Prefecture on Monday evening.
She drifted in a rubber ring and was unable to return to shore due to currents and winds.
A cargo ship spotted her early Wednesday near Chiba's Boso Peninsula, 80 kilometers away.
Two crew members from a nearby tanker jumped into the sea to rescue her.
She was dehydrated but conscious and did not require hospitalization.
