Nanao เหตุการณ์หมีดำ

Nanao saw a black bear on December 5, 2025, when a driver on Route 249 in Naotsu reported a bear like animal going into the western mountains near the city line. That same day, another black bear was seen from the Nanao Tadatsu area along the R249 bypass heading toward Wakura and the golf course side of the mountains.

Most of the recent activity has been around the mountain edges and roadside corridors in Naotsu, Tadatsumachi, Asahimachi, Arayamachi, and Notojima Kodamachi, with October standing out as the busiest month with 4 reports and December 2025 already at 2. Since the first recorded report, Nanao has logged 47 black bear sightings overall, and the pattern here keeps pointing to bears moving between roads, neighborhoods, and the hills above town.
