Description
While driving from the national highway toward Horinuchi area, just before Horinuchi Bridge I sighted three brown bears: one adult and two cubs. They walked together along the roadside from the embankment toward the road and did not seem to flee even when honked; they fled toward the rice fields on Route 103.
