Description
Post: In a rotation (transplanted) buckwheat field at Kusaka Town, Kusaka 65-1, one bear about 1.2 m long was sitting and eating; it looked up at people, then hid and continued eating in the buckwheat; when it saw people it fled to the north into the woods. The field is reportedly frequented daily; homes about 200 m away
