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!

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.

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☆

The long, long winter in Hokkaido has calmed down considerably, and there are signs of spring in Bear Mt. The bears, which had been sleeping in the winter, began to wake up one after another and became active. So, today I finally released the bears into the sub-paddock in front of the barn. The bears were out in the sun for the first time in three months, and they seemed to be very comfortable playing in the snow and enjoying the sun. Take a look at (^^)/ the bears for the first time in a very long time This is a lion maru who is completely in the mood for vacation ☆ Kouta who is rubbing his body hard against the tree?! Everyone seemed to be having a good time in the spring sunshine!

Today is the end of March at the earliest. There are too many things, what to do and how to do it? While I continued to worry, four male customers made a snowman near the first lift station. The snowman has the words "Fight Japan"! Of course! It's a strong message for reconstruction, but I'm a pitiful person who was encouraged by customers... I feel that this message reminded me of my original work (what is the tourism industry and service industry?) from the customer. The ski resort will be open until 4/3 (Sunday)! It has become a crunchy spring-like snow, but it is in good condition in the morning. And Bear Mountain, Sahoro Resort Hotel will start the green season from 4/29 ☆ Preparations for the opening have begun steadily. Even a little! We hope that your stay in Sahoro will be a pleasant and memorable one. Photo: From the 1st Lift Staff (taken on 3/29)

The brown bears of Bear Mountain have begun to wake up from their winter slumber one after another. Spring is just around the corner. This year's business will start on April 29. I'll be in good shape to welcome you all! I don't have a picture of a waking bear, so I took a picture of a squirrel. It suddenly appeared on the roof of the parking lot this morning. I hurriedly took out my digital camera and took a picture, so it's blurry. It has nothing to do with Bear Mountain, but it is connected to animals that live in Hokkaido. * Squirrels do not stay in winter.

At the Sahoro Resort Hotel, which is about 2 minutes by car from Bear Mountain, an accommodation plan with a Bear Mountain admission ticket has appeared. Brown bears behave in a variety of ways depending on the time of day as well as the season. Why don't you ♪ stay at the Sahoro Resort Hotel and watch the brown bears to your heart's content from opening to closing? There is also great deals, so be sure to check it out ☆ ◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆ ◆◆◆ Click here for the accommodation plan for 2011 ◆◆◆ ◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

Hello. How do you measure your respiratory rate? I uploaded it to my blog before, but it looks like this. However, there are different types of measurement postures. 1 Normal posture Basic posture, less burden on the body, emphasis on balance 2 Concentrated posture ・Compared to normal posture, there are fewer gaps and it is often taken in strong winds. The disadvantage is that the body temperature drops significantly, and the sensation at the ends such as the toes is lost. 3 Special posture ・ Take when the snow is melting and the ground ground is flooded, such as in early spring. The muscles of the whole body are required to support the body with only one arm against the toes and ventilation openings. Because it is very painful, it is a short-term intensive type. During wintering, we measure in these three positions. Someday, you want to be a keeper at Bear Mountain! Let's train our concentration and physical strength, and measure together! The basic thing is to fight the cold (^ dish ^) [Breeding: Kurokawa]

The temperature continues to be uncharacteristic of winter. The thing that interferes with the bears' sleep is the temperature (temperature). I introduced "Moko" before, and I started feeding because I felt uneasy about my physique. At the beginning, a very small amount of food is given to the food. As with hospital food, if you immediately give the same amount as during the normal period, the body will be surprised and it is dangerous. ↑ Food for bears (400g) A small amount of food is repeatedly fed, and the amount of food is returned to normal while observing the condition of the stool. You may think that this small amount of food will stick, but in fact, it will be eaten very slowly. Maybe you know your physical condition. By spring, I will be able to regain my physique and gain weight so that I can meet everyone, so please look forward to it. ↑ Moko's nest. Compared to other individuals, it is a little dirty. ↑ A rather thin but beautiful nest. [Breeding: Kurokawa]

Today, I was relieved that the weather was not rough. The Bear Mountain Forest Nature Tour was attended by a couple from Kobe. Unfortunately, you can't see the brown bears, but you can take a snowshoe stroll on the pure white snow surface. It's a simple program, but walking on puff-puff powder snow with no footprints is something that you don't usually experience. That alone sounds like fun. With just a little snow yesterday, the best powder snow was waiting. And take a commemorative photo in front of a large birch that can be seen from the cutting edge of the promenade course! Compared to the summer photo, the brown bear has plenty of time to put his hand on the tree on the slope between the branches, but even if there is snow and the ground is high, it is not possible to reach it even if you reach out. This kind of fun is unique to Bear Mountain! Whether you're interested in brown bears or not, why not try it out? On a different note, the melon bear in Yubari was also wintering. As for the bear connection, I digress.

This winter seems to be stormy all over the country, but the weather in the Tokachi region has been good so far, and Bear Mountain is blessed with blue skies, which is very pleasant (^. ^) Today, we went into the park and did snow removal work. When it is open, it is crowded with many people, and the slope path to go up to the promenade will be buried in the snow as you can see if no one is walking (><) Even the bear that stood up is like this. It is difficult to remove snow from the fall prevention nets on the promenade, and the snow is tight and very heavy due to the recent cold weather, so this is quite hard work>. <) Preparations are now underway for Bear Mountain, which is buried in snow, to open in the spring! 　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　【Breeding, Shigematsu】

Today, the local newspaper Tokachi Mainichi Shimbun came to cover the ski resort. The content is "an ice aquarium at the highest altitude in Japan". At the summit station building of the Sahoro Gondola, an ice aquarium has appeared. It is an article called. 　 He also filmed the winter sleeps of brown bears on Bear Mountain. I also took on the challenge of shooting! Hmmm... I'm sleeping on a rice straw, but is it my head? Is it an ass? I don't know... In the meantime, reacting to sunlight and cold? He opened his eyes and glared at me, saying, "What are you doing?" I immediately darkened the room and was quiet, when I heard the breathing of sleep. The eyes that glow from the dark are powerful! Even during the winter, I didn't feel any decline at all.

As we entered the end of January and the cold was getting more severe day by day, I thought that all the bears in Bear Mountain were sleeping quietly, but there was one bear that was still restless (>). <) This is "Moko", which joined the ranks of Bear Mountain last fall. Moko is a bear that has never experienced winter sleeping, and she has not eaten anything for a month due to fasting for winter, so she needs to be very careful about managing her physical condition. This morning, he opened the lid of the ventilation vent on the roof with his forelimbs and appealed to us. This is something that bears often do when they have begun to wake up from winter slumber in early spring to appeal to them, but it is troublesome and very worrying to make this appeal at this time of year in the height of winter. As an aside, bears that are sleeping in winter store a lot of nutrients in their bodies in the fall, so if they are quiet, they can live without eating anything until spring, but they do not need water to sustain their lives. At Bear Mountain, we secure moisture by giving ice to bears that are sleeping in the winter, but it is also important to make ice to secure that moisture. Thanks to the recent cold weather, ice is forming more and more, and while I am grateful for the winter nature of Hokkaido, I continue to fight the cold every day. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　【Breeding, Shigematsu】
