Official Black Bear Hirosaki, Aomori Jul 5, 2026, 05:25 AM

Description

While traveling on Apple Road from the Self-Defense Forces direction toward Shimoyunoguchi, I witnessed one cub (about 50–60 cm in length) emerge from the woods near Hirosaki City Cemetery Park, run alongside my car for a short time, and then re-enter the woods.
