Around 12:20 p.m. on June 20, there was reportedly a bear sighting near the summit of Mt. Takao (commonly known as Shiroyama) in northern Ashiya City.

The address is Shiroyama, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
In the Hanshinkan area, wild boars are something you often hear about, but a bear!? Seriously!?
According to the news articles, it was believed to be “an Asian black bear about 1.5 meters long,” which means a bear about the same size as me (Fuuko) was… in Ashiya…!?
It would be scary if it came down from the mountains along the river and reached a residential area. Everyone, please be careful!
