โกเรียวกากุ เหตุการณ์หมีสีน้ำตาล

Goryōkaku is dealing with fresh bear activity again: on April 1, 2026 in Hakodate Tsurunocho, police found traces believed to be from 1 brown bear, and earlier in March 2026 a parent and cub were reported at Zenkamezawa Junior High School after crossing directly in front of the student entrance. That follows a run of schoolyard and neighborhood reports in February 2026, when bears were also confirmed around Zenigamezawa Junior High School, Senkamezawa Junior High School, and nearby parts of Hakodate.

The most active places in this area have been the school districts around Zenkamezawa and Senkamezawa, along with nearby commercial and residential spots in Hakodate such as Suzurankamachi and Suzuranoka cho. Activity peaked in September 2025 with 56 reports and stayed high in October 2025 with 37, before easing through winter, but the area has still logged 424 brown bear sightings overall.
