Morioka เหตุการณ์หมีดำ

Morioka’s most striking recent report came on May 1, 2026 at 23:21 in Mitsuwari, where one adult black bear was sighted in Nishimatsuzono 2-chome while a pedestrian was out walking. The bear moved south and no damage was reported, but that same day also brought a bear rummaging through apple crates in Kado at 20:37, showing the animal is still moving through settled parts of town.

The busiest ground has been around Morioka, especially Hirakashinden, Shimoda, Tsukigaoka, Otobe, Tsunagi, and Shimoyonai, with activity reaching into road edges, riverbeds, hot spring areas, and places near schools and stations. The monthly pace peaked in November 2025 with 531 sightings and stayed very high in October 2025 with 392, while spring has remained active with 41 in April 2026 and 55 in March 2026. Across Morioka, there have been 1,458 black bear sightings in all.
