Official Black Bear Akita, Akita Apr 19, 2026, 07:51 AM

Description

While driving from the Yuwa area, I spotted a bear about 1.2 m long that had come onto the road and was climbing the embankment beside the road. When I stopped the car, it looked toward us briefly, then, appearing wary, ran away.
