Community Black Bear Masuda Mitocho-Uzukawa, Shimane May 4, 2026, 05:00 AM
Location
Description
I directly witnessed a bear about 1 meter long entering the bushes from alongside National Route 191 at Sasaga Pass (on the right side when heading toward Masuda City). I was on my motorcycle, so I was very scared. A car in front of me also saw it (they slowed down and watched the bear). The bear went into the bushes quickly and because I was on my motorcycle I couldn't take a photo.
