Observed for about one second a black, rounded, quadrupedal animal about the size of a medium dog—possibly a bear cub or a wild boar—running roughly 30 meters uphill into the brush. Location: where the Onnazaka and Sawa trails merge on Mt. Takagawayama.

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.
