Official Black Bear Akita, Akita Oct 19, 2025, 07:40 PM

Description

[Post] While driving toward Akita City, I saw a bear right in front. It noticed me, turned its back, and ran off. I chased it, but it went into the bushes on the opposite lane. I stopped the car, raised my camera, but there was only rustling from the bushes and it did not appear again. It was surely over 1 m in length. It was quite large. It was terrifying.
