Description
Post: In a fallow buckwheat field at Kosaka-machi Kosaka, 128, one adult bear about 1.2 m and two cubs about 50 cm were slowly eating buckwheat. As dusk began, they paid a truck no mind for a while, then fled into the eastern woods when noticed. About 300 m to the Sunagosawa Water Purification Plant.
