While taking a break in the parking area, I noticed the sound of branches snapping getting closer and closer. When I checked the direction of the sound, there was a bear along the guardrail.

I saw a bear coming down the Yoshidaguchi promenade from the mountain side and crossing the road. While driving on Fujizakura Street (?), I noticed a dark shape crossing the road; when I looked toward where it went, an adult-sized bear was standing there. I couldn’t take a photo, but I clearly confirmed it.
