A wild bear was spotted running on the sidewalk in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture on Thursday, October 16.

Bear incidents have been increasing in northern Japan. Between April 2025 and March 2026, seven people were killed, marking the highest number of fatalities since records began in 2006. Bears become more active in the autumn before hibernation, so the Ministry of the Environment is urging people to exercise caution.
