The barracks are located about four miles from the spot where the boy’s parents left him on Saturday, to punish him for throwing stones at cars and other people.
The parents made Yamato get out of the car on a mountain road going through a forest. They claim that they were only gone for five minutes before returning to the spot to discover that the boy had disappeared.
Over 200 people have been searching through the forest, which is inhabited by Ussuri brown bears, for the past six days, according to The Telegraph.
Yamato Tanooka was sent to a hospital by helicopter after he was found by military personnel in Shikabe on Friday morning.
