I heard the rustling of two bears slowly moving through the woods as they searched for food. Then one of the bears noticed us from this gap, and the two of them bounded away.

The trail from Mount Kyogatake to Hansobo bus stop ends and becomes a forest road along the river. On the far bank of the river, a small, very black object—likely a cub—noticed the sound of my bell and ran up the bank, fleeing.
