Official Black Bear Ogata 字中央, Akita Apr 25, 2026, 01:20 AM

Description

[Report] From the sighting point it crossed the road toward the elementary school side and entered the school grounds or toward the playground. It was a momentary event. I confirmed it from inside a car parked on the road about 80 meters away. The body seemed to be about 1 meter (long). Afterwards it moved closer to the playground; I scanned from inside the car but could not find the bear.
