On the way back from Kuroyu Onsen, just a short distance after leaving the parking lot, a mother bear with cubs crossed the road ahead.

[Post] I encountered a bear on the way from Tsurunoyu Onsen to the old road entrance, so I turned back. I was roughly at the mid-point (about a 10-minute walk from there). I didn’t see the suspension bridge or the Tourir forest sign, so I think I was before that point. Not sure whether the bear was behind me or looking my way, so I considered a tall two-legged person. I zoomed with my phone and realized it was a bear, so it was fairly far away. Whether it noticed my loud music, I don’t know, but the bear walked slowly from right to left. The photo is zoomed. This was my first time seeing a live bear; it looked fairly big, and neither bear looked like a cub.

While foraging for bamboo shoots, was attacked by a bear. When we fought back, it fled.
