ฮอกไกโด เหตุการณ์หมีสีน้ำตาล

Hokkaido’s sharpest recent encounter came on April 30, 2026, in Shimamaki Nagatoyomachi, where a large post hibernation brown bear attacked a hunter and injured him. That same stretch of late April also brought fresh sightings in Wakkanai, Sarufutsu, Ashoro, Hamanaka, Imakane, and Shari, showing the animal is still moving through roads, rail lines, and town edges.

The busiest ground is around Wakkanai, with repeated reports in Koetomura in late April and a new sighting on May 1, 2026 near Kabaoka, while Shimamaki, Sarufutsu, Ashoro, Hamanaka, Imakane, and Shari are also drawing attention. Activity peaked in October 2025 with 909 incidents and stayed high through September 2025 with 694 and August 2025 with 605, before easing into winter; across the period, Hokkaido has recorded 12,652 brown bear sightings overall.
