Description
A Yokote City Jūmonji area division staff member, while on patrol, confirmed footprints heading toward the riverbank. The tracks were oriented from the villages of Betsumei and Magado toward the riverbank, and because they appeared fresh, it is possible that a bear that had been hiding around the settlements moved sometime between the night of May 9 and early this morning.
