Sixteen people remain unaccounted for on a still-smouldering Japanese volcano that erupted at the weekend.
It comes as a typhoon looming off the coast threatens to further delay the stalled recovery operation.
It is the first time an official figure has been put on the number of people missing since the volcano roared to life.
It is on top of the 47 people whose bodies have been removed from the peak of Mount Ontake.
"We arrived at the figure by checking climbing reports and cars parked nearby as well as listening to climbers and families," an official from Nagano Prefecture told reporters.
The volcano continues to belch steam and poisonous fumes, making a section near the crater inaccessible, despite the presence of hundreds of well-equipped troops, police and fire fighters.
Rescue workers have spoken of up to half a metre of thick, sticky ash smothering the slopes, with some of the dead found half-buried, leading to fears others may be entombed.
Television footage showed grey cinder-filled water gushing down a swollen river near the base of the mountain, where rescuers waited.
Heavy rain forced rescuers to abandon their search of the mountain today, while a gathering typhoon looked set to batter Japan over the coming days, a further reminder of the country's vulnerability to the wrath of nature.
Typhoon Phanfone is predicted to bring strong winds and high waves this weekend or later, the meteorological agency said.
