A mother bear with two cubs ran from the road toward the mountain path/area leading to the waterfall. Nearby there was a dropping that looked like it belonged to a bear.

It was on the roadway, and even after seeing my car it showed no signs of fear; it slowly entered the brush at the side of the road.

I don’t know the exact location or time, but while driving from the town toward Lake Towada I saw a bear cub suddenly run into the brush on the left side of the road. It was just a moment so I didn’t get a photo, but we passed Kosaka Nanadaki Winery within two or three minutes, so I think it was in that general area.

While driving from the Towada Lake area toward Kosaka town, I saw one bear going under the guardrail on the right (west) side of the road just before the sign that says “1 km to Michi-no-Eki Kosaka.”

It was standing on a rock in the middle of the Oyu River. While I stopped the car and was operating the camera, it walked toward the mountain on the opposite bank. It’s a cub.

Posted: In a rice field, a bear about 90 cm long was foraging in the adjustable water rice field. When it noticed a small truck, it fled to the east into the woods. About 300 meters to Kosaka Town Sunagosawa Water Purification Plant.
