Description
Post: While driving around this area, I observed in the buckwheat fields a total of 20 Japanese black bears: six groups with one adult and two cubs each, and one group with one adult and one cub. The buckwheat was heavily flattened, and the area is a popular dog-walking route for nearby residents; caution is needed.
