Mishima Taisha เหตุการณ์หมีดำ

Mishima Taisha has been feeling the bear pressure most recently in Mishima on March 3, 2026, when something that looked like a black bear crossed the road in Sano Miharudai 1 chome. That comes after a run of winter reports centered on Atami City and Kannami Town, where sightings and captures were reported around the mountain roads and foothills in January 2026.

The strongest activity has been around Atami City, especially near Mount Takanosu, the Nekkan Road area, and roads near the Izu Skyline, with Kannami also showing up along Prefectural Route 20. Activity peaks in January 2026 with 8 reports and in November 2025 with 8 more, while the area has recorded 42 black bear sightings overall.
