[Report] From the sighting point it crossed the road toward the elementary school side and entered the school grounds or toward the playground. It was a momentary event. I confirmed it from inside a car parked on the road about 80 meters away. The body seemed to be about 1 meter (long). Afterwards it moved closer to the playground; I scanned from inside the car but could not find the bear.

News

The JA-run convenience store 'Lawson Ogata Village' in Ogata Village, Akita Prefecture shortened its hours to 5:00–22:00 from November 13, 2025 after repeated bear sightings and resignations of student part-timers left it unable to maintain 24-hour operations. The village has received 15 bear sighting reports this fiscal year, nearly double last year's eight.
