At around 3 p.m. yesterday, December 25, an animal that looked like a “fox” was reportedly spotted on a street in Hamakaze-cho〜！！

There have been reports before of tanuki?, raccoons, badgers, and other animals appearing in and around Ashiya City, but a fox is rare! And since it was in Hamakaze-cho, that’s pretty far toward the seaside area〜
Hyogo Prefecture, Ashiya City, Hamakaze-cho is around here on the map↓
It’s in the southern part of the city, facing the sea, and on the east side close to Nishinomiya City〜
↑In addition to residential neighborhoods, Hamakaze-cho has several parks, including “Ashiya Seaside Park,” which has a swimming pool and marine center, as well as “Ashiya Municipal Hamakaze Elementary School,” so it’s an area with many children.
Foxes may have a cute image, but they are wild animals, so even if you spot one, please don’t approach it unnecessarily or try to touch it〜！
