Official Black Bear Towada, Aomori Jun 20, 2026, 10:24 AM

Description

While driving on the highway toward the Oirase side, I spotted a bear walking toward the road. It then ran toward us, so I drove straight forward through the area. The bear was in front of the two cars following me, but those two vehicles later avoided the bear and also passed safely. The bear's destination is unknown.
