Official Black Bear Kosaka, Akita Jun 13, 2026, 08:15 AM

Description

A single bear about 80 centimeters long was in a field at 32 Sunakosawa, Kosaka, Kosaka Town. It appeared to have come out from the wooded hill behind the house on the west side. The bear was by a pile of firewood next to the house; when it made eye contact it returned to the western woodland. The distance when eye contact was made was about 20 meters, and it was small enough to be thought a cub not yet weaned. No adult bear was seen. The neighbor was informed immediately.
