Official 2 Black Bears Kazuno 倉沢, Akita Jun 17, 2024, 10:00 AM

Description

Alone, entered Mt. Kurotama to visit a shrine at the summit. No bear bells. No deterrence gear. On descent, encountered two bears about 20 m ahead (likely from higher up toward the foothills). About 20 m ahead, two small bears crossed. They didn’t seem to notice me, so I descended while playing loud music on my phone. No bear approached.
