The Japan Coast Guard continued its rescue mission on Tuesday, after a tour boat disappeared off the coast of the northern island Hokkaido at the weekend.
The boat, called Kazu One, was carrying 26 passengers and crew members on Saturday when it went missing in rough waters around the Shiretoko Peninsula in northeastern Hokkaido.
Eleven people were confirmed dead on Sunday, after being found in waters where the boat was thought to have disappeared.
The Coast Guard has publicly identified three of the victims, including a three-year-old girl.
The search and rescue mission for the remaining 15 people who are still missing is now continuing into the fourth day.
The Coast Guard plans to extend its search area, as the tour boat may have been drifted far from the coast.
