Description
When I opened the door to go outside, there was a bear very close. I hurried back inside and didn't see which direction it went. Town staff checked the scene and found footprints from the eastern hillside through the residential grounds toward the northwest mountains. Length about 1 m.

玄関を開けたら即座にクマがいるとか、相当ヒヤッとしたろうな。
