Mitane เหตุการณ์หมีดำ

Mitane’s most compelling recent report came from Kozato on May 11, 2026, when a man in his 50s spotted an adult female black bear about 1.5 meters long near the Kosegawa railroad crossing; the bear was then seen in the woods and ran south. Another sighting at the same time and place also placed a bear near Mitane Kado, underscoring that this corner of town is still active.

The heaviest pressure has been around residential edges and roadways in Mitane, including Kozato, Okuchi, Kamiiwakawa, Ashizaki, and Amasegawa, where bears have been seen near houses, warehouses, roads, and fields before slipping into the mountains or bamboo groves. Activity peaked in October 2025 with 95 incidents and stayed high in November 2025 with 85, while April 2026 logged 16 reports; across Mitane, there have been 477 black bear sightings overall.
