Official Black Bear Akita Ushijimahigashi 5-chome, Akita Nov 1, 2025, 06:52 PM

Description

When I finished club activities, at a vending machine I encountered a bear; it approached to within about 10 meters, but perhaps because I was wearing a bear bell, it fled toward the mountains. I heard a loud crack of wood breaking, so I thought it was quite large.
