While driving on Route 7, I witnessed a bear about 1–1.5 m long trotting crosswise toward the museum and then entering the woods. Other cars slowed and waited for it to cross, so quite a few people must have seen it. I’m reporting this because I didn’t find any sighting information posted.

It ran through the rice paddies on the left side heading into Aomori City, past Kyowa Transport in Namioka. From what I could see through the passenger-side window, I think it was a cub.

While working a ball-collection part-time job at Nashi no Ki Golf Garden, I witnessed a small bear cross right in front of me. It happened last Thursday. In the past I’ve repeatedly heard small bears crying around the same time of day. I tried to post about this several times, but it didn’t seem to go through, so although some time has passed since the sighting, I’m trying again.
