아키타야케야마 반달가슴곰 출몰 정보

In Akita-Yakeyama, the most striking recent report came on April 23, 2026, near Ōbadani-chi in Kazuno, about 5.5 km from the Tamagawa Onsen No.1 parking lot toward Kazuno, where a black bear on a snowy slope saw a car, panicked, and ran uphill toward Tamagawa Onsen. That is the kind of close mountain edge encounter that keeps turning up here.

The most active ground has been around Kazuno, Semboku, and the Tamagawa area, with bears appearing on roadsides, in rice fields, and along the national highway, often near homes or moving off when vehicles approach. Activity has peaked in October, with 12 reports, and September followed with 11, while the area has recorded 84 black bear sightings overall.
