Description
While driving on Prefectural Route 21 Tago–Towadako Line from Tago toward Lake Towada, I encountered one large Tsukinowa (Asiatic black) bear believed to be a female and two cubs on the road immediately after rounding a curve. When I applied the brakes and stopped the vehicle, the three bears ran up the roadside embankment and fled east.
