Tottori Sand Dunes is seeing fresh black bear activity again: on April 26, 2026, one bear was observed moving from the municipal road Sakon Kiyochinai Line up into the mountains on the east side. That latest report fits a pattern of bears appearing along roads and then heading back toward the hills, with Iwami standing out as the most active area in the recent record, including repeated cub sightings in Hirano and a bear report in Kawasaki.

Across this area, activity has been heaviest in late summer and early autumn, with August 2025 recording 14 incidents and both July 2025 and October 2025 recording 10 or more each. The Tottori Sand Dunes area has logged 344 black bear sightings overall, and the recent winter reports in December 2025 and January 2026 show that bear presence has continued into the colder months.
