Miyako เหตุการณ์หมีดำ

Miyako saw its most recent trouble on April 21, when a black bear about 1 meter long was spotted near the pool at Shinsato Elementary School in Kariya, Miyako City, and then moved into the mountainside area. That same afternoon, staff and children at after school care were also watching the bear in the same part of town, which shows how close these animals are getting to homes and schools in Miyako.

The busiest ground has been around Kariya, along with Kugai and other parts of Miyako City, where the bears have shown up near houses, sheds, roads, and trail country. Activity has been strongest in March 2026, with 4 reports, and winter has not gone quiet, with 2 reports in January 2026 and 2 in December 2025. Altogether, Miyako has recorded 32 black bear sightings.
