In May 2026, bear sightings increased in Ibigawa Town, Gifu Prefecture; 15 sightings were reported in the town center by May 19, five times the three sightings in the same period last year. The municipality urged residents not to leave food waste or crops outdoors, and decided not to apply emergency shooting because the bear(s) did not remain in one place, raising safety concerns.

Around 15:30 on the 11th, a bear was reported near woodland slightly away from a temple in Ono Town, Gifu Prefecture, and a hunter commissioned by the town shot and killed one bear. The culled bear is believed to be the same adult about 1 meter long that was sighted in the temple parking lot on the 7th.
