上高地（7月） — クマを心配すべき？
7月に上高地へ3日間行きます。大雪渓（大喰沢）と可能なら奥穂高も計画しています。
2025年にクマによる死者が13人出たと聞き、秋田に自衛隊が派遣され、米英が渡航情報を出しているというのは驚きです。
でも上高地はどうなんでしょうか？トレイルは人気があるように見えます。最近行った人はいますか？夏のトレイルはどれくらい混んでいますか？

Nagano Prefecture has 3,395 tracked incidents on Kumamap, but Kamikochi's main trails are among the busiest in Japan. Thousands walk them daily in summer. Bears avoid that level of foot traffic.
The Kappabashi boardwalk and Myojin Pond trails are very low risk because of the crowds. Dakesawa and routes toward Okuhotaka are wilder and the risk goes up there. Bring spray and a bell for those sections.
July is peak season, which is actually your best safety asset. Bears are most active at dawn and dusk, so start after 6:30 AM and don't push into twilight.
The 2025 crisis was concentrated in Tohoku. Akita alone has 20,807 incidents. The Northern Alps had activity but was not the epicenter.
Matsumoto area nearby: 135 incidents. Check before your trip: kumamap.com/en/areas/nagano
