Description
On April 22, 2025, a sensor camera installed in the mountains of Daigo Town captured an Asiatic black bear (Tsukinowaguma). On June 2 of the same year, a bear was also confirmed on a resident's dashcam in the town. The prefecture does not consider bears to have established a population locally but noted the possibility of cross-border appearances from neighboring prefectures and included 13 million yen in the budget for measures such as hunter training and support for rifle purchases.
