Nagano เหตุการณ์หมีดำ

Nagano’s most recent troubling encounter came in Nagano Matsushiromachi Higashiterao in the early hours of April 29, 2026, when a single black bear about 1.5 meters long was seen on the road and a passing car’s horn sent it fleeing. Another bear was also reported in Nagano Matsushiromachi Johoku on April 29, 2026, adding to a run of close encounters around the city.

The activity is concentrated around Nagano City and nearby mountain and hillside areas such as Togakushi, Toyonomachi Kawatani, Kitago, Nakazone, Kadosawa, and Nakajo Sumeragi, with reports stacking up through April 2026 after heavier months earlier in the season. The busiest stretch was October 2025 with 88 incidents, followed by November 2025 with 44 and December 2025 with 20, and the area has recorded 282 black bear sightings overall.
