Official Black Bear Kazuno, Akita Jun 25, 2025, 02:50 PM

Description

While descending the Aspite Line after a hike on Hachimantai and Mt. Kobutake, at a curve near the Gosho Onsen entrance, in the roadside ditch. The distance to my wife in the passenger seat was about 2 m. It may have defecated; when I stepped out to photograph, it did not run away. Note from the manager: If you see a bear while driving, pass carefully and do not exit the vehicle. It’s dangerous and can make bears habituated to people, which is bad for both bears and others.
