Shifuku-ji Temple is following a fresh wave of black bear reports: on May 6, 2026 at 22:00, a bear about 1 meter long was seen crossing the road at an intersection in Kamiyatagari, Izumi Ward, Sendai, and similar late evening sightings were also recorded that night in nearby parts of the ward. The same stretch of Sendai has seen repeated bear activity near roads, crosswalks, and shopping areas, with another bear reported on the north ring road in Kamiyatagari-Tatewaki and a separate sighting near a prefectural road in Kamitayagari.

The busiest ground in this area has been around Sendai, especially Izumi Ward, Aoba Ward, and Taihaku Ward, where bears have been turning up near neighborhood edges, green strips, and roads leading toward larger routes. Activity was heaviest in October 2025 with 513 reports and November 2025 with 406, then eased through winter before rising again to 48 in April 2026; across the whole area, there have been 2,857 black bear sightings.
