Around the area heading from the Midori-ike trailhead toward Inagoyu, I repeatedly heard a sound coming from the forest on the right that I’d never heard before. When I got home and searched YouTube for bear sounds, I found the same sound posted there, so it was probably a bear’s call. Because it was frightening, I didn’t walk through the part of the forest with the eerie noise between Midori-ike and Inagoyu and descended by walking along the road.

I saw a bear coming down the Yoshidaguchi promenade from the mountain side and crossing the road. While driving on Fujizakura Street (?), I noticed a dark shape crossing the road; when I looked toward where it went, an adult-sized bear was standing there. I couldn’t take a photo, but I clearly confirmed it.
