After descending Mount Moiwa and heading toward Yamanohana between the 6th and 5th stations, a black cub about 50 cm long was hiding in the sasa grass. The black fur on its ears was fluffy. The bear stayed still. I was too scared to take a photo at the time—seriously. But thinking back now, I found the fluffiness kind of cute.

While cycling just past the Toyohira Gorge Onsen sign, there was a strong animal odor. After I heard rustling in the bushes, whatever made the noise did not run further into the woods, so it is suspected to have been a bear.
