After descending Mount Moiwa and heading toward Yamanohana between the 6th and 5th stations, a black cub about 50 cm long was hiding in the sasa grass. The black fur on its ears was fluffy. The bear stayed still. I was too scared to take a photo at the time—seriously. But thinking back now, I found the fluffiness kind of cute.

[Growling] Mount Moiwa summit → On the way toward the horse’s back ridge: on the switchback path leading from the summit (around where a Jizo statue stands), when the people ahead became spaced out, I heard a growling sound about three times.
