Description
[Report] Behind an empty house at 45 Sunagosawa, Kosaka, a young bear about 1 meter long ran into the forest on the west side. Just before that, it had been sighted near a water source in front of the house at 42 Sunagosawa. It appears to have come out of the forest on the east side, crossed rice fields and a river, passed between houses, and entered the forest on the west side. Although bears are known to be present in the hill behind the houses on the west side of the settlement, sightings of a moving bear occurred on the north and south sides of the row of houses. It is unusual to see a bear moving between houses during daytime.
