Tsubetsu 불곰 출몰 정보

Tsubetsu had its latest bear report on February 16, 2026, when a patrol officer in Mito found bear tracks on a town road around 11:30 AM; the prints showed more than one size, with the largest about 10 cm wide and 19 cm long. That kind of sign matters because it shows bears are still moving through the area, even when they are not always seen directly.

The most active places have been Kitoi, Aioi, Kakkumi, Kashiwa-machi, and Kamisato, with reports also spreading across Tsubetsu itself. Activity has been heaviest in June with 18 incidents and July with 14, then it stayed active through October with 7 and November with 4, and Tsubetsu has recorded 241 brown bear sightings overall.
