Description
On Route 120 from Numata toward Nikko. Between the Corn Road and Marunuma. While traveling in the left lane, a juvenile bear about 50–60 cm long emerged from the brush on the right. An oncoming car was approaching, and the startled bear spun around and went back into the brush under the white guardrail. The sighting lasted about five seconds. The mother bear was not seen. There was no time to take a photo.
