Hirose Shrine 반달가슴곰 출몰 정보

Hirose Shrine is watching a sharp recent flashpoint in the bear reports: on April 10, 2026 at 16:40, a black bear came down from the hill beside the pond in Heguri Midorigaoka 6 chome, and it got to about 5 meters away before the person shouted it off and the animal ran back uphill. That is the kind of close encounter that shows how quickly these animals are moving into the edges of settled ground here.

Most of the activity is concentrated around Kizugawa City, Tenri, Nara, and Ikoma, with repeated sightings also turning up in places like Umemidai, Furuichicho, and Ogurajicho. The pace was heaviest in November with 36 reports, then October with 19, before dropping into December with 12 and only 2 in both January and April; this area has logged 84 black bear sightings overall.
