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.

It's a shame that it's raining on this three-day weekend. I took pictures of the event so that people who really wanted to go but couldn't can see it. Please take a look at Santa and Hinata's brave appearances (?).

Annual Autumn Event ``Present Autumn Salmon to Brown Bears'' With the cooperation of the Tokachi-Kushiro Prefecture Salmon and Trout Breeding Business Association, we are able to give such fine autumn salmon to brown bears. It's about 50cm long. When we released water into the pond, Hinata reacted. I will chase you desperately. The first fish was won by autumn salmon. Escape to the deeper part of the pond and swim through the fierce attack of the brown bear. Hinata couldn't catch it and was frustrated (ーー゛) Hinata won the second one. Please take a look! That smug look! ! The way he looks at me and opens his mouth as if to say, ``I'm amazing, right?'' Even so, the male staff had the strength and range of motion to grasp a salmon so large that it was firmly held in both hands in one bite. After all, he has amazing abilities. I'll tell you how I got it tomorrow. ``Present autumn salmon for brown bears'' will be held tomorrow and the day after.

September has arrived, and the day of farewell has finally arrived. Chocolat and Maron can be seen at Sahoro until tomorrow (9/3). It's lonely. . . (T_T) However, this small exhibition space can be stressful. It's also a good thing for Chocolat and Maron. Even after returning to Noboribetsu Bear Farm, I want you to grow up to be caring, beautiful, and without forgetting your Sahoro spirit (?). A cage for transportation was prepared at Bear Point. Although small, a bear is still a bear.

Finally, the time has come. ``Koguma, return to Noboribetsu. ” Twin baby bears grew up quickly on Bear Mountain. We took commemorative photos with customers, asked them to choose a name, and took a quiz to guess their weight. The twin babies, who arrived three months after they were born, were so small that they could hardly walk. Even though it was Golden Week, they were unveiled to the public in the snow. Chocolat and Maron couldn't help but worry about how small they were, covering them with blankets and heating them, and spending more time sleeping than awake. From around June, when early summer arrives, she transforms into a tomboyish girl! They jump, bounce, do handstands, climb, and hang, making me wonder if they have more strength than the male staff. That's how much I've grown. As of 8/20, Maron weighs 28Kg! ! The Kouma exhibit area is getting smaller, so we have decided on the day to return to Noboribetsu Bear Farm. He's doing well at Bear Mountain for the next few days, so please come and visit us. The Kogma exhibit will be on display until September 3rd.

The Santa Hinata twins were wrestling in front of the glass, competing to see who could open their mouths wide. When I hit the glass with a bang during wrestling, the audience cheered. And the small child was crying, saying, "I'm scared..." Bear Mountain is the only place where you can see a powerful brown bear that will make your child cry. surely.

It was hot today!

Sahoro continues to rain. Although Hokkaido does not have a rainy season, the ``Ezo rainy season'' seems to be dragging on. Bear Mountain can be enjoyed even in such weather! The bears continue to live their lives as usual, whether it rains or snows. If you take the bear watching bus, you can go see the bears without getting wet in the rain ♪ Rental umbrellas are also free ☆ Rainbows are more likely to occur after the rain, so if you time it right, you might even see one.

Clear skies for the first time in a while! At Bear Mountain, a double stand of Santa and Hinata was performed. It is a rare sight to see two of them standing up together.

I've been doing this since I was little, but even as my body grows older, I can still do it well☆ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓　↓　↓　↓　↓　↓　↓　↓　↓ Handstand. But since the head is attached, I guess it's a three-point handstand. Maron tries to imitate him, but he just rolls over. Even in this heat, the tomboyishness is at its best! Please come see me soon (^_-)-☆
