Official Black Bear Kazuno Towada-Nishikigi, Akita Jul 20, 2026, 03:00 AM

Description

[Post] I was standing on the left bank setting a hook to start fishing for sweetfish when a friend downstream shouted something. Looking around, I saw a bear cub about 10 meters upstream swimming from the left bank to the right bank. I was on alert, thinking the mother might be nearby, but it was the only one.
