Numata เหตุการณ์หมีดำ

Numata's most serious recent case came on December 29, 2025, when a black bear attacked a man at the entrance of a private home in Numata City, leaving him injured and shaken afterward. Just earlier, on December 1, 2025, a bear lunged at a security guard at the public restroom in front of JR Numata Station, and another bear had already been seen running down toward homes in Numata Iwamotomachi on December 5, 2025.

The pressure point is clear around Numata City itself, especially near JR Numata Station and the residential edge of Iwamotomachi, where bears have been showing up close to people and buildings. Activity peaked in October with 46 incidents, then stayed heavy in November with 14 and continued into December with 3; across Numata, black bears have been recorded 200 times overall.
