While descending the Inariyama course during trail running, I heard a loud rustling as if an animal was pushing through the bushes on my front left. When I looked toward the sound, I saw what appeared to be a black animal—likely a bear—running away quickly within about 50 meters. Although I was wearing sunglasses, it looked about 1–1.5 meters long, so I believe it was a bear. I had been running downhill with bear bells, so I think it noticed human presence and hurriedly fled. I didn’t have time to stop and take a photo, and the location is approximate. I was measuring distance by GPS as I ran, and it was just past 2 km from the summit, but I roughly identified the spot by comparing with someone’s recorded track on YAMAP. There may still be some margin of error. I posted this because there was a sighting reported yesterday at Yakoin.

While descending the Inariyama course during trail running, I heard a loud rustling as if an animal was pushing through the bushes on my front left. When I looked toward the sound, I saw what appeared to be a black animal—likely a bear—running away quickly within about 50 meters. Although I was wearing sunglasses, it looked about 1–1.5 meters long, so I believe it was a bear. I had been running downhill with bear bells, so I think it noticed human presence and hurriedly fled. I didn’t have time to stop and take a photo, and the location is approximate. I was measuring distance by GPS as I ran, and it was just past 2 km from the summit, but I roughly identified the spot by comparing with someone’s recorded track on YAMAP. There may still be some margin of error. I posted this because there was a sighting reported yesterday at Yakoin.

[Report] While resting in the car, I spotted a bear heading toward the municipal baseball stadium. [Yokote City Agriculture and Forestry Maintenance Division note] The location information is clearly incorrect, so the point on the map is provisional. It is unknown whether this is the old Yokote Municipal Stadium in Yokote Park or another municipal stadium.

While descending the Inariyama course during trail running, I heard a loud rustling as if an animal was pushing through the bushes on my front left. When I looked toward the sound, I saw what appeared to be a black animal—likely a bear—running away quickly within about 50 meters. Although I was wearing sunglasses, it looked about 1–1.5 meters long, so I believe it was a bear. I had been running downhill with bear bells, so I think it noticed human presence and hurriedly fled. I didn’t have time to stop and take a photo, and the location is approximate. I was measuring distance by GPS as I ran, and it was just past 2 km from the summit, but I roughly identified the spot by comparing with someone’s recorded track on YAMAP. There may still be some margin of error. I posted this because there was a sighting reported yesterday at Yakoin.
