Kokutai-ji Temple เหตุการณ์หมีสีน้ำตาล

Kokutai-ji Temple has been watching a fresh wave of bear activity nearby: on May 2, 2026 at 14:40, a train driver on the JR Hanazaki Line spotted 2 brown bear cubs beside the tracks at Suminoe 4 chome in Akkeshi Town, and the cubs slipped back into the woods. The sighting came after several spring appearances in Akkeshi, including a bear on March 24, 2026 in Sannushi and another near Kamioboro on March 17, 2026.

The busiest stretch has been around Akkeshi Town, where tracks, roads, and nearby residential edges keep turning up signs of bears, while March 2026 was the peak month with 12 reports and January 2026 also stayed active with 7. Across this area, brown bear reports have reached 391 in total, so this is not an isolated patch of movement but a place where bears keep showing up through the seasons.
