Official Black Bear Odate, Akita Oct 21, 2025, 10:10 AM

Description

Posted: On Route 285 toward Yonai-zawa. About 10 minutes earlier I had just seen a bear in a buckwheat field. This bear was leisurely foraging the fallen ears in the rice field. It has become accustomed to people and cars, and I fear it will start targeting food from houses.
