Authorities were using aircraft and patrol boats, including seven ships, three aeroplanes and four helicopters from the coast guard, to search for the passengers and crew of the "Kazu I" after it ran into trouble off Shiretoko peninsula, famous for its wildlife and dramatic coastline.
The coast guard heard from the crew on Saturday afternoon that water was flooding the vessel. It was last heard from around two hours later when it contacted its operating company to say it was keeling at a 30-degree angle, Kyodo news reported.
The coast guard said it was not clear what had happened to the boat. No one was available for comment at the company.
The crew said those on board were wearing life jackets, media reported. There were 24 passengers, two of them children, and two crew members on board.
