Official Black Bear Odate Koshakanai-michiue, Akita Oct 18, 2025, 06:55 AM

Description

Post: While running, I rounded a curve and watched it cross the road slowly from the forest on the Shimodano side toward the Tennamachi side toward the fields. It wasn’t looking at me, so we had a near collision but it was safe. About 10 m away, private property about 5 m. Body length 1.5–2 m.
