Zuikō-ji Temple เหตุการณ์หมีดำ

Zuikō-ji Temple is seeing the kind of close call that makes hikers stop in their tracks: on April 19, 2026 in Minoh Gein 3 chome, a black bear watched a person from halfway up a slope and answered with a low growl while water ran on one side and the hill rose on the other. Another tense encounter came on April 10, 2026 in Heguri Midorigaoka 6 chome, where a bear came down from the hill beside the pond and got within about 5 meters before the person shouted it away.

Across this area, the most active places have been Minoh, Heguri, Ikoma, Ibaraki, Kawanishi, Ikeda, and Takatsuki, with sightings clustering along hills, ponds, and residential edges. The busiest stretch in the records came in November 2023, then October 2023, and activity rose again in September and October 2024 before showing up in April 2026. In all, this area has logged 41 black bear sightings.
