With only a few days to go before this year, the bears on the bear mound are starting to enter the winter spree. This year, perhaps because the temperature dropped sharply, as soon as the rice straw from the nest material was put in the room, the winter weight switch was turned on, and the next day, the breathing frequency was also 2 ~ 3 times per minute, and the breeding staff was also a little surprised. The photo above is a big veteran bear "Yawara" in winter. Breeding Miyano

Hello, I'm Bear Mountain. Sorry I haven't updated much. This is a video from the other day on August 20 when I went to Bear Point to take a photo. Hinata and Santa's heartwarming (!?) Communication. We will deliver a jolly scene.

Hello I'm Bear Mountain, the temperature today is 22 degrees Celsius, it feels just right for us, but it may feel a little cold inland and for those who are not used to it. For the bears, I think it's probably like saying, "It's hot..." ( ̄ (d) ̄;)" (Because the appropriate temperature is 7°C ~) It looks fun and more than anything, I heard the story of a customer who passed by on the promenade, "There is a different goodness from Noboribetsu ~ It's interesting." ( ̄(エ) ̄) no" Arigatougo Zaimas!! Thank you for your kind words, the gesture of the bears in nature. I would be happy if you could feel that this is how you live in the forest. I sometimes get to see faces like this. In this season when the number of customers in the family group increases, well, speaking of summer vacation, children? What's up with your homework? ( ̄ (d) ̄;) Solo-Solo-Shuuban?　 If you don't mind, why don't you take the materials of Bear Mountain etc. or ask the older brothers of the staff to do free research on brown bear life? You can hear stories that can only be heard here, so please make use of what you see, hear, and feel by all means ~ ♪

Bear Mountain is sunny today. There is a refreshing breeze blowing away the grime of this place. But guess what? I wrote on Facebook that it looks like a raccoon. A raccoon who is not a mountain relative, there is indeed a charm. The occipital region. You can see that it is leaning on the glass. The ears are bushy and cute, but the scent of an uncle wafts in the air. It's a bathroom... it's not a watering hole. If you put a towel on your head, it is an uncle in an open-air bath. Today, I went to Bear Mountain with an escort to the interview, and this is a video that reminds me of the words of the reporter who said, "You're human (laughs)." Bears who look the same like this and show different faces whenever they come. If you observe carefully when you come, you will see ♪ "Aha"

It's a cloudy but slightly warm day, and it's a time when people don't move. Going to take a peek at the bears? I'm resting on everyone's day. A bear in the distance seen from the promenade? A look of sleepover. 　　　　　For those of us who live in Hokkaido, are bears scary? It's a nice existence, but it looks cute, Anyo stretches out and is full of pretentiousness, ♪ huh? Isn't this really close to you, Grandpa ♪ Yama? In fact, mountain bears may be like this when their stomachs are full.

Bear Mountain on the second day after closing, today it is over 30 degrees. Bears were also conspicuous as they moved in search of a cool place. Let's go into the woods and see. "We apologize for the inconvenience" is not to say thank you. I'm looking for a snack that floats on the water. "Where?" The appropriate temperature for bears is said to be 7-4°C, so on a day like today, I go to the shade or the water's edge. It's a river that flows under the end area of the trail (to the right of the fork to Bear Point). Depending on the approaching bear, you can see the power relationship, the bears that are gently moving away, and the bears that put their mouths in the water and play with the "bumps". It is ♪ interesting to observe the bear of the day

Mitt has just made his debut in the park. She was born twins in 2008 at Noboribetsu Bear Ranch. Mitt's twins, Towa (female), live at Maruyama Zoo in Sapporo. Because of this connection, Bear Mountain and Maruyama Zoo have posted POPs of mitts and towas. When you go to Maruyama Zoo's Ezo Brown Bear Pavilion, please also take a look at Mitt's POP. The time of day when I visited was bad, and Towa was not (T_T) in the exhibition hall Well, speaking of Maruyama Zoo, polar bears. I was just playing in the water, but I was playing with my tires submerged in the water. Although the body shape is different, the gesture of pushing with the front legs is the same as that of the brown bear. Playing with your head in the hole of the tire from underwater. This is a behavior that I have never seen in a brown bear. Brown bears do not get into the water like polar bears. I always stick my ears out of the water and check the surrounding situation (sound). Counter the cute gesture!? Santa appeals to the wildness. I'm ♪ also enjoying playing in the water How about a ladder trip between Mitt and Towa on the ladder of Bear Mountain and Maruyama Zoo?

Today, I ate 5 of Hinata's monopolized "Rainbow trout catching challenge". And this brave figure! It would be like a carved wood-carved bear. We will start from 10:40 tomorrow and tomorrow, so please support us! P.S.: In Shintoku Town, which is a 15-minute drive from the hotel, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. 　　　 Sakura in the park is a little more. It is such a state.

Hello. Today is the introduction of the bear who made his Bear Mountain debut this year. I'm Mitt (6 years old). The system is very slender. Right now, I am still in special training because I can become a bus that runs in other bears and parks! I wonder if I've gotten used to it lately... ↓ It is Mr. Mitt who is relaxing in the water. If you come to Bear Mountain, you may be able to see such a cute figure. More than a rookie (new bear?) It was an introduction! ★ Event Information ★ Rainbow trout giveaway! Date May 3, 4, 5 from 10:40 a.m. Please take a look at the bear chasing the fish with all its might, albeit stubbornly! Breeding Staff Shijuei

Tomorrow, we will finally open for the 2014 academic year. We held an annual event inviting new first-year elementary school students in Shintoku-machi. Now in its ninth year of operation, Bear Mountain has been there many times! While there are many first-year students, it is also part of the school class, and they listen seriously to the breeding staff. First, take a bus to the brown bear forest. I'm desperate to find a bear. Then, I found one in the back! That's the mitt that will debut in Bear Mountain this spring. Bear Mountain 1 is a young (6 year old) bear. And maybe you're not looking at a bear with your eyes off the plough, but you're being watched. At the bear point where you can meet through the glass, you are very close to Mr. Kuma! Santa Hinata's double stand excited the teachers and reporters from the first grade!? Blessed with good weather, the invitation to the new first-year students was successfully completed. The children also went back to school with happy words, "I'll come three more times." The weather looks good tomorrow and tomorrow, so please come and see the bears on an outing at GW.

This weekend, Saturday, April 26, 2014 business will finally begin. The trial release has already begun, and there is no shortage of preparations. The youngest mitt (6 years old) will make his debut in the park, so the breeding staff is also nervous. Because of their youth, they monitor with a twinkle in their eye, such as how they behave and how they are compatible with other bears. Also this year, 13 handsome bears (!?) They live carefree in the forest, so please come and see them.

In March, Enlightenment Day is approaching. Around the end of February this year, perhaps because of the continued high temperatures, Mitt (6 years old) and Moko (12 years old) started to fidget, and they started to get up and move around a lot, so we decided to start feeding the two heads from March 1. 　← photo is a bear pellet (bait), and since I haven't eaten anything for about 3 months, I give it after softening it thoroughly with hot water. 　　 ← photo shows the mitt at the moment of eating rice for the first time in about 3 months. I ate it in an instant without tasting it only by the young bear. Initially, I will give it about the amount of photos and gradually increase the amount. Other bears began to notice the smell of the bait, and some bears were waiting in front of the lattice door of the room. From now on, the number of bears to feed gradually increases, and the breeding staff gradually becomes busier these days. Breeding Staff

Even though there was no calendar or clock, the bears began to move. It seems that it is about time to wake up. There is also a bear that is already standing up, and when you look at the situation, it seems that it is healthy enough to feel the power of the eyes even though it has not eaten anything for about 3 months. The breeding staff is also relieved. Well, the story was taken in the middle of a winter retreat. In order to sleep with peace of mind, we put a compound panel on the iron barn of the barn, but rice straw is sticking out from the gap. If you look next to you, there is no such thing. Apparently, the bear is filling the rice straw in the gap in the companel as if to prevent the gap wind. It was like painting concrete on a wall with the palm of your hand like a plasterer... I grinned just imagining it embedding it with those big forelimbs. The photo on the left is also dirty because the rice straw is dirty, so I think it is coming out of the gap below, but it seems to prevent the gap wind. It is interesting that rice straw beds and crevice wind prevention are made in completely different ways depending on the individual. Bear Mountain will start operating on Saturday, April 26th!

Clinton followed by Koji-kun. I opened the ceiling vent to let in the light, so I woke up here as well. What's that? I look up as if to say, and check to see if the door that can be seen in the back of the photo opens, and I ask how it is in slow motion. Compared to Clinton, the rice straw bed is smaller and thinner. When you put a straight rice straw in the room, you can chew it or roll it with your front legs to soften it, creating your own comfortable place (bed). This varies from individual to individual, and some bears make it neatly sowing, while others sleep peacefully and cluttered, revealing their personality. Koji is... a meticulous person.

The inside of the animal house is a private room for each head, and you do not care about other bears!? It's winter. It was pitch dark, but excuse me, and I lit the lights. Clinton sleeps with a pile of rice straw. I sleep with my chin high and my chin resting. (The right side of the black object is the tip of the nose, the left is the buttocks) The rice straw in the foreground is a hindrance. Can't you take a picture a little easier to understand? Well, if it was taking so long, I would have woken it up.　Sorry Clinton. Brown bears are not hibernating, but winter bears, so they are sleeping with their faces. Female bears give birth during the winter months and can be active immediately if something happens. Even if you find a bear burrow in the mountains in the winter, please leave it alone.

We are praying under a cold sky with a temperature of -10 degrees Celsius. As a joke, we are measuring the sleeping breaths of brown bears. There is a ventilation hole on the roof of the animal enclosure, from which you can check on the breathing of the brown bears during the winter. Because it slows down metabolism, breathing rate also decreases. They only breathe about 2-3 times per minute. Check by holding one side of the tube visible at T time with your hand and holding the other side to your ear. Whether it's a sunny day or a blizzard, this is an essential and important task. Bear Mountain is the only place in the world where animals hibernate in groups during the winter in captivity. This year is our 8th winter.

We will be open for business from Saturday, April 26th, 2014. Both the brown bears and our staff are looking forward to seeing you again this year. We look forward to your continued support of Bear Mountain in 2014.

Business hours for this year have ended on Sunday, October 20th. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our customers for visiting us this year. Just because you have a garden doesn't mean you can relax. There is a lot to do, including health checkups for the bears and preparations for winter retreat. Anyway, I'm relieved that this year ended without any accidents. We will be releasing information about the bears' status from time to time, so please continue to support Bear Mountain.

Bear Mountain was closed due to snowfall. The snow has been removed from the park and the promenade, and we are now open for business with only 3 days left. In the past, there has been snow in the park when it opened in April, but this is the first time it has snowed in the fall. The light snow surface makes it easy to spot bears. And there are autumn leaves in the back. Just two days left to enjoy autumn and winter all at once, Bear Mountain will close for the 2013 season on October 20th (Sunday).

October is here! Just the other day, I was saying "hot x 2"...how fast. Bear Mountain will be open this season until October 20th (Sunday). Closed every Tuesday. The baby will begin to eat more and more as it prepares for winter, and will grow in size. It's a good season to enjoy the yellow leaves and brown bears, so please come and see them while driving! After seeing the brown bears, please relax at the cafe.

The Hanamori Kuma Cafe Restaurant will finally open tomorrow ☆ The hotel restaurant has a high threshold and is difficult to enter. I think there are many people who say that. However, it is a cafe, so please feel free to stop by. The most important part of the menu is the Bear Plate, which is inspired by Bear Mountain (?) Click here ↓ ↓ ↓ Tokachi Beef Steak with Tokachi Vegetables. The soup is made with Shintoku local chicken soup and shiitake mushrooms from Shintoku. This hearty plate that even bears will be satisfied with is available in the Bear Lunch Pack. Of course, you can also choose the very popular nap omelette rice. And during cafe time, this cute menu will be available ☆ Bear's Honey Toast Bear loves honey, after all. After seeing the bears, feel like you're a bear and have a hearty meal (^?^) Business hours are 11:00-16:00 (lunch time 11:30-14:00) Located in the Sahoro Resort Hotel, 2 minutes by car from Bear Mountain.
