ปราสาททากายามะ เหตุการณ์หมีดำ

At Takayama Castle, the most recent alarm came on May 2, 2026, when a tourist saw an adult black bear about 1 meter long moving toward the mountain inside the grounds of Hie Shrine in Shiroyama. That is the latest in a run of sightings around the castle hill, with bears also reported on April 8 in Kamoka-Machi, on April 6 in Shimokawara-Machi, and on March 29 near Kitagedo Cemetery in Sakyo-cho.

The busiest ground is around Shiroyama, the castle approach, and the neighborhoods ringing the hill, where bears have also turned up in Horibatacho and other nearby districts. Activity climbed hard in October 2025 with 116 incidents and stayed high in November 2025 with 60, then eased through December 2025 with 15 and into January 2026 with 6; across this area, 2,884 black bear sightings have been recorded.
