The most important thing to avoid a bear is not to encounter a bear.
For that purpose, be sure to implement the following precautions.

■Do not go into the wilderness and act in multiple people (do not act alone)
■In Noyama, walk (activate) while making noises such as bear bells
■Be sure to bring back food and garbage without leaving or burying it.
■Turn back when you see traces of bears such as dung and footprints.
■Do not act in dark, such as early in the morning or dusk.
■Do not walk dogs where bears appear, as they may excite the bear.


If you see a bear around town, contact the Police!
