Aizumisato เหตุการณ์หมีดำ

Aizumisato saw its latest black bear incident on April 30, 2026, when a bear about 1.0 m long crossed a prefectural road in Fukushigeoka going north to south around 07:20, and another bear about 1.5 m long was later seen in the same area around 07:30. That kind of close movement along roads and fields has been showing up around homes and settlement edges, with recent reports also coming from Asahiterairi, Monjuhigashi, Oishi, and Mikamimachiue.

The busiest stretches of activity have been around November 2025, when the area logged 74 incidents, and October 2025, when it logged 50, with the pace easing through winter before rising again in March 2026 with 9 reports and April 2026 with 3 so far. Across Aizumisato, black bear activity has reached 275 sightings overall, and the pattern keeps centering on the town's residential margins, fields, brush, and roads near inhabited places.
