Official Black Bear Akita, Akita Nov 1, 2025, 04:33 PM

Description

Posted: I witnessed a bear emerge from the shrubs behind a shrine from a car, took photos. Because there were pedestrians, the bear sensed movement and fled into the shrine; the pedestrian slowed to a crawl in the car to ensure safety.
