We recommend that you read the May 18th Bear Mountain Newsletter and ``What's in the Picture? Part 2'' first. Now, I'll reveal the answer. First, please take a look at the photo in question. The answer is "bird." And there are two birds. You can clearly see the same kind of bird above the bird. I wonder if they're a pair. What do you think? Bird name: Turtle dove (also known as wood pigeon, it is probably more commonly called by this name) Calls (this can vary): ``De-de-poppo'' or ``ho-ho-ho-ho''.

Karikachi Kogen Park is about 5 minutes by car from Bear Mountain. I have seen Sakura's condition. Here is the row of cherry blossom trees in front of the Karikachi Kogen Eco Trolley on the way to Sahoro Country Club.Left) Photographed today Right) Photographed May 22, 2010 Cherry blossom trees along the old national highway The cherry blossoms in the foreground were in bloom for about a minute. The weather has been nice for the past three days, so the buds have swelled and bloomed all at once. If you look to the left from the row of cherry blossom trees on the old national highway, you will see a plum garden. Plum blossoms are still blooming. It blooms when the cherry blossoms finish. There are also a few more cherry blossoms in Bear Mountain.

This photo was taken from the Bear Mountain promenade. The color may be difficult to find. Please look for it. I will try to answer by May 21st.

May 10th ``What's in the photo?'' Did you see it?☆ I'm sure you already know the answer, but I'd like to announce the answer. The correct answer was a bird (probably a warbler). There is a great chance to observe birds from the 5m high promenade! We will be closed tomorrow as it is a public holiday.

In early spring, the trees have not yet lost their leaves, so you can see the distant scenery clearly. This is the view towards Tokachi about 30m after entering the promenade course. You can probably see East Nupukausinupuri, West Nupukausinupuri, and even Mt. Upepesanke. In front of the majestic scenery, the two were taking a nice nap. When I got closer with the 12x zoom, each one of them raised their heads and appeared in the photo. These two are here. Please watch carefully so you don't miss anything.

Just about 10 days ago. It's today. Warm. That's nice, spring. The photo shows a willow tree inside Bear Mountain. When it comes to ``Ezonobakko willow,'' the yellow color is Obana, and the green color (slightly larger than Obana) is Mebana. Which one, Mr. Kuma? It feels good. My eyes are closing. Oh my God. Oh, sorry. At the place of rest. I woke you up. Sorry to bother you. Excuse me.

We are approaching the summer solstice, and the days are getting longer. Is that why they use the daffodil plaza (as I like to call it) as a feeding ground? There is a high probability of encountering sika deer. Will you be there today too? When I prepared my camera and headed there...☆ Even though I was being warned, I took great photos so that I couldn't run away. It checked on me for a while, then gradually moved away and hopped back to the deep forest (?).

As of 14:00, the temperature is 14℃ and the refreshing wind blows through Sahoro. Well, the spring ephemerals that I introduced the other day are now at their peak. And Chishimazakura in front of the hotel. The buds are starting to plump♪ The cherry blossoms in Shintoku town, which is about a 15-minute drive away, are about to bloom. The cherry blossoms at Shintokuyama Shrine are lit up from 6pm to 10pm. You can enjoy the cherry blossoms at night. For more information, check the Shintoku Town Tourism Association website

Bear Mountain is closed today. The bustle of Golden Week is so quiet it seems like a lie. Today I went out to see the row of cherry blossom trees on the old national highway at Karikachi Kogen Park, which is located across the national highway. As for Sakura...not yet. Of all the photos I took, the one on the left made me wonder, ``Why did you take this?'' I remembered! I took a picture of ○○☆ Try to find what's in the picture.

Sahoro Resort Hotel is located about 2 minutes by car from Bear Mountain. The spring ephemerals around the hotel are finally starting to be seen. Usually, they bloom as soon as Golden Week begins, but this year they are late. Katakuri: From now on, the tepals will bend backwards, and the best time to see them will come. Lower left: Ezoengosaku It is easy to find because it grows naturally on slopes. Bottom right: Katakuri and Azumaichige, Azumaichige is also known as ``rainfall flower,'' and there is a theory that if you pick it, it will bring rain. After enjoying the brown bears, why not take a walk around the hotel and meet the spring ephemerals and feel the spring? The Chishima cherry tree in front of the hotel doesn't look like it's going to bloom yet.

By the third day, Santa was already used to it, and today he set up at the pond early to eat rainbow trout. Just as I thought! It fell from above again today♪ I confirmed that it had entered the pond. I missed it... Santa stands up as a reminder. So, it's huge. The Koji and rainbow trout in the back were fighting each other to intimidate! Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Things settled down without turning into a physical fight. Relieved, I turned my gaze to the glass surface and saw that he had entered today as well! ! And with a big smile. The deer tries to intimidate the bear out of revenge, but it's in vain because it doesn't take him. I rode the Sahorogondra alone and returned to the mountain. (Shika-kun never stops smiling even at times like this)

We would like to thank our customers for visiting the mountaintop. thank you very much. Arrive at the top of the mountain by gondola. Change into boots and treasure. Deer is also welcome. Those who came to the top of the mountain saw this view. I was only able to capture a small portion of it in the photo. This is just a small part. It's the Daisetsuzan series. You may be able to see Mt. Tomuraushi in this area. The gondola will also operate on August 12th, 13th, and 14th. We look forward to seeing you.

It's snowing today. Hmm, don't give in to the cold and bloom. The building you can see on the right is "Bear Point". There are staff members on top of the building. At the bottom is Santa. The staff is throwing rainbow trout into the pond. Will Santa be able to catch a rainbow trout? Santa is waiting for a rainbow trout. I'm looking up. Maybe the staff moved. Santa is also on the move. There was a splash of water in front of me, and a rainbow trout was thrown in. I wonder if he's following me with his eyes. Now it's time for the battle. Capturing with right front paw. Struggle in vain. Failure. disappointing. I found a rainbow trout swimming leisurely. I wonder if Santa is begging the staff. After this, it was successful after a few seconds. It hurts that I can't show it to you. "Rainbow trout catching" at Bear Point will also be held tomorrow, May 5th. Please come and join us. The event time is from 11:00 to 13:00.

It's the second day of Golden Week, and it's raining sleet... but! The brown bears are resistant to the cold, so they are living happily as usual♪ Also, a deer has invaded Bear Mountain, so we have an urgent report! ! First, take a commemorative photo in front of the bear watching bus! And see you off. If you break into the promenade, you can also take a commemorative photo here! "Look for the bear" Successfully entered Bear Point! I immediately tried to threaten the bear, but it didn't attack me... "Hey, let's play!" the bears cry out in vain and remain calm. Since the bears wouldn't let me play with them, I escaped from Bear Mountain with two Minnie-chan. There will be a JAF child safety license issuance event tomorrow. 10:00 - Available to the first 100 children. Deer may also invade again, so stay tuned.

On the second day of GW, which was blessed with good weather, today's photos are taken from the bear watching bus. In front of Bear Point, on a small hill called ``Otachidai'' by the staff, Kumaemon started rubbing his back (marking). The customers cheered, saying things like "Wow!" and "Wow!" After all, riding the bus gives you a real sense of being there. Well, the forecast is for rain tomorrow, but it's forecast to be sunny for the second half of Golden Week. Try catching rainbow trout on May 3rd, 4th, and 5th! There will be plenty of events, including a treasure hunt at the top of the gondola mountain, and the issuance of JAF child safety licenses on May 5th! We look forward to seeing you during Golden Week.

First of all, take a look at Shingo approaching, and Kouta Goron on top of the cave.At this time of year, the climate is comfortable for the bears, and everyone lives freely. Please come see me soon!

Sahoro Resort Hotel's North Building Plaza, which was introduced in "Sunny forecast for the first half of Golden Week!" The Ezoengosaku began to flower before the Katakuri. As of April 25th, I couldn't find any Ezoengosaku, but there are so many flowers! Is Katakuri coming tomorrow at the earliest? The day after? flowers may bloom. (Photo left) The weather looks nice, so after enjoying the brown bears, please come and see the Spring Ephemerals. The insides of the fallen walnuts were also eaten. Whose work is this? (Photo right)

Today, we had people from Shintoku Elementary School visit us ahead of tomorrow's opening. Everyone, we are shiny first graders. Everyone is seated and behaves well. Are you nervous? Well, it's finally time to enter the kindergarten. Immediately after, voices of "Where's the bear?" were heard. “Wow!” a voice exclaimed. Some voices call out my name. Some of the children live nearby and are very knowledgeable. Maybe you know more than me. When I got off the bus, I was inside a facility called Bear Point. The brown bear is standing up. After observing, learn about brown bears. It's in a quiz format, so even children can have fun learning. Perhaps great doctors will be born from among these in the future. I look forward to it. Thank you everyone for your hard work despite the rain. Please don't catch a cold. Please feel free to visit us again, we look forward to seeing you.

Brown bears and spring ephemerals are waiting for you with the GW limited brown bear plan.

It's been a while since today in the park♪ The markings at full power were so intense that it was like fast-forwarding... Then, when I pressed stop, I started trying to climb trees, so I guess I wanted to aim for the top of REC again? Couldn't you climb? I don't know, but I carefully climbed down and marked another tree. The surrounding area is white because of the snow from last night, but the snow is melting faster than usual. One week left until opening! The bears have completed their power charge and are looking forward to your visit☆
