While walking, a driver in an oncoming vehicle told me “there’s a bear.” When I looked, I saw one bear (about 1.5 m in body length) about 5 m away. It had climbed over the wall on the east side of Shimazu Shokai Co., Ltd. and was running south along the road on the west side of Oshima Central Park.
