Description
Post: A bear about 1 m long was on the embankment beside a rotated soba field in Kosaka Town Murakami 65-1, watching the soba field. After noticing a light truck, it crossed the water channel into the north woods. This soba field has had bears enter before, but since the owner installed an electric fence, bears reportedly haven’t entered. It’s unknown whether the observed bear noticed the fence while approaching the soba field. About 200 m to houses; about 50 m to Kosaka Town Sakagawa Water Plant.
