News

Around 15:00 on November 16, 2025, a single bear about 70 cm long was found in a persimmon tree on the grounds of a residence in Takadama, Shirataka Town, and was culled by emergency shooting about one hour later. The house was mostly vacant, and the town has warned residents after several days of repeated bear sightings in the area.
