อุทยานุสรณ์โชวะ เหตุการณ์หมีดำ

Shōwa Memorial Park has been watching a worrying run of black bear activity, and the latest sharp alarm came on April 30, 2026 in Hanno Oaza Yajiri, where a bear like animal about 60 to 70 cm long was sighted near schools and restaurants in Misugidai 1 chome. Just days earlier, on April 25, 2026, another black bear was seen in Ome Katsunuma on the way back from Ome Railway Park to Ome Station, close enough to stop a passerby beside the road.

The heaviest activity is centered around Hanno, Hachioji, and Akiruno, with repeated sightings along the Iruma River riverbank and in residential edge areas like Misugidai and Kawadera. The pace climbed hard in October 2025 with 54 incidents and stayed busy in November 2025 with 28, before easing through winter and early spring, while the broader area has now logged 334 black bear sightings overall.
