Official Black Bear Akita, Akita Jun 5, 2026, 06:58 AM

Description

While driving on National Route 13 from Akita toward Omagari, a bear entered the highway from the shrubs on the small hill on the left, tried to cross the road to head toward Wada Station, but was blocked by the central divider fence. It attempted two or three times to ram through the fence to get out but couldn’t, and then fled back into the shrubs on the hill it had come from.
