Official Black Bear Akita, Akita May 3, 2026, 06:37 AM

Description

A great-grandchild who came to visit Grandma from Sendai said there was a very dark, fluffy one. The grandchildren moved to the second floor; five grandchildren were on that floor and movement was confirmed. It was about 80 cm long. It went out through the shrine torii, passed in front of the house next to it, went around the back of the neighboring house, walked along the rice-field bund, and entered the mountain across the way. The homeowner hurried everyone inside; their throat tightened from the shock and tension.
