Kitami เหตุการณ์หมีสีน้ำตาล

Kitami's latest troubling report came on April 22, 2026, in Tokoro cho, Kitami City, where repeated sightings of bears or bear like animals were reported in the urban area and the Tokoro branch office issued warnings by disaster radio. The day before, on April 21, 2026, a motorist on National Route 238 in Tokoro spotted 1 brown bear at about 4:20 a.m., and that same district has also seen a report on April 18 in Tosa and another on April 22 in the town area.

Most of the pressure has been around Tokoro and other settled parts of Kitami, with recent reports also coming from Rubeshibe and Kaisei. The pace was heaviest in July 2025 and June 2025, when there were 19 incidents in each month, and the season stayed busy through August 2025 with 15 and September 2025 with 11 before easing into winter; since then, Kitami has recorded 233 brown bear sightings overall.
