Description
On the morning of January 25 a single bear entered the first-floor kitchen of a ryokan in Ideyu, Agano City. The ryokan's three family members evacuated to the second floor with no injuries; the bear likely entered through a broken sliding kitchen window and left signs of rummaging, but police and hunters did not find the bear when they inspected.

25日朝の時点で旅館の台所に侵入するなんて、冬の寝込み時期なのに相当活動的だな。
