ทะเลสาบคาวางูจิ เหตุการณ์หมีดำ

Lake Kawaguchi has been seeing black bear activity right on the roadsides and trail approaches, and the most recent sharp warning came on May 8, 2026, when a truck driver on National Route 358 in Nakabatakecho, Kofu City, spotted a bear-like animal about 1 m long on the road. Just a few days earlier, on May 5, 2026, a person descending near the Kagiageshōge trailhead in Fujikawaguchiko Saikonishi saw a bear-like animal near the entrance to the climb.

The heaviest pressure has been around the wider Kofu, Fujikawaguchiko, Tsuru, Yamanakako, and Oshino corridor, with reports spiking in November 2025 at 44 and staying high in June 2025 at 41, then easing through December 2025 with 15, January 2026 with 2, February 2026 with 1, and March 2026 with 3. Across the area, 519 black bear sightings have been recorded in all, and the pattern here keeps showing animals near roads, bends, and access points rather than deep in the mountains.
