At this time of year, the leaves of the trees are not yet attached, so the view is good and the panoramic scenery such as the distant mountains spreads out. As I walked along the promenade course, Lokuta appeared on my right. When you zoom in, you will find yourself sleeping comfortably with your big face (chin) resting on your forelegs. My Udemakura? (*^▽^*) When you're asleep, it's a chance time to take a closer look! Please take a look at the soles of your feet, nails, ears, and other details!

The wind has been blowing since last night. Thanks to the wind, the heat is beaten. I found one brown bear in the direction of Bear Point from the promenade! In the picture on the left, can you see where the bears are? When I zoomed in... I saw the back view. Do you understand? You may be cooling off with a large body like this. If you can spot such a brown bear, you are an expert at Bear Mountain! ☆GW weather forecast☆ (as of 5/1) Please refer to 5/2 (Sat) Sunny 17°C 5/3 (Sun) Cloudy 16°C 5/4 (Mon) Cloudy 15°C 5/5 (Tue) Cloudy then sunny 15°C 5/6 (Wed) Sunny and cloudy 15°C * Temperature is the predicted maximum temperature

When Bear Mountain opens, it will suddenly be warm today. The temperature during the day rose to 23 ° C. The snow in the park is melting steadily and clean water is flowing in the stream.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　I found Mizubasho there again this year. 　 It is a stream in front of Bear Point, right next to the bus road. The nature in the park is finally in full swing. Dipping in the cold water, Clinton blurted out, "It snowed heavily on Sunday four days ago, but suddenly it got hot."

Today Bear Mountain is open. It's been a month since I woke up from winter, but I'm still sleepy. Even though it is open, there is still snow and I am still sleepy. I'm Koji. He is 17 years old this year. I experienced winter stay three times. When I was sleeping at Bear Point, many customers could see my sleeping face. Hey crazy. But it feels good.

We will start business for 2009 from today. During the winter period, all animals were kept alive, which is the original ecology, in captivity, and spent the winter without eating food for about 100 days. After a long winter, the brown bears are still living well on Bear Mountain this season. This season, we hope that safety measures will be our top priority, and that you will not only have an emotional experience, but also that Bear Mountain will be an opportunity to think about nature conservation and coexistence with wild animals. More like Hokkaido and more like Tokachi. We look forward to seeing you there.

Bear Mountain and Sahoro Country Club (golf course) have opened ♪ from today The green season has finally begun☆ I'm happy (*^▽^*) that customers come to see us Well, in commemoration of the opening of Bear Mountain and the golf course, which got off to a spring-like start (?) One ☆ I went for a walk with MTB A plaza that entered Sahoro Resort from the national highway. Daffodils are about to bloom to welcome everyone☆ On the way to the golf course across the national highway, there was a D51, an eco-trolley, and a scenic café. We couldn't go inside, so we couldn't see what it was like. (>_<;)。 Arrived at the golf course! But I was still playing, so I went back without stopping by. The plum garden and cherry blossom trees were also "still a long way off". Sara & Moko left) When I came back from a walk, there was a tick in the upper part of Sarah's left eye (No? ゚)ノ Let's check the ticks when you come back from playing outside! Right) Moko has changed hair and has winter hair like a mohawk. 30 minutes after returning from the walk Already Zzz ... oO (Dream)

It was an open day blessed with fine weather. When I went to look for a bear on the promenade course... I immediately heard a threatening voice saying, "Gao!" !! I found two suspicious horses ☆ Will it start in wrestling? When I looked at it, nothing happened, and the other party walked away, but the remaining bear still seems to be worried about marking a nearby standing tree! Even if it is not so rough (^^;; There was a tree bark on the back. I was worried about what would happen when it snowed 4 days ago (4/25), but the bears are living well surrounded by the spring sun. Thank you <(_ _)> for your continued support of Bear Mountain this season.

The 2009 opening is finally approaching tomorrow. Today, we invited a new first-year elementary school student from Shintoku Town. Take a bear-watching bus and sneak into the brown bear forest! In the park where the snow remains, brown bears stand out, and "I was there!" and "There are also over there!" I was excited to find a brown bear. And when they got down to Bear Point, they ran all at once and got very close to the brown bear! I observed it up close, saying it was "big" and "cool". NHK Obihiro comes to cover this situation and tries to interview the children, but apparently they are all shy. Mr. Kusaka, the caster, asked a gentle question and managed to answer it. This pattern will be broadcast on the Marugoto relay in [Marugoto News Hokkaido] today. It will be broadcast in the Hokkaido area, but if you live in Hokkaido, please take a look. ■NHK Marugoto News Hokkaido between 18:20 and 18:40

Yesterday, it continued to fall all day, and about 10 cm of snow accumulated. The snow has melted in the sunlight, and the national highway and the road surface in front of the hotel are already dry. The temperature as of 16:00 is 1°C, cold. Pre-opening tomorrow! There is an invitation project for new first graders of elementary schools in Shintoku Town. Shintoku Town is inhabited by wild brown bears. Therefore, we invite you to Bear Mountain to observe brown bears up close, which are not usually encountered, to understand their ecology and behavior as much as possible, and to think about nature conservation and coexistence with wild animals. Since Bear Mountain is in its fourth year, there are new first-year students who have already come, but the zookeeper will also serve as a guide so that they can study well. This year, you will also be able to observe large footprints left on the snow.

Looking out the window, snow. According to the weather forecast, there is a lot of snow today. The maximum temperature is minus 2°C. The road surface where the car runs is only wet, but the mountains, as well as the surrounding fields and grass, are pure white. But don't worry! The weather forecast for the opening day of 4/29 is sunny and cloudy, with a maximum temperature of 13°C. (As of 4/26) Today is the expected day for the cherry blossoms in Goryokaku in Hakodate. Sahoro is... still in custody.

Bears have been staying in winter for a long time. It's been a long time since I've been out on the range. We conduct a test release before the opening so that the bears can become accustomed to it. After a long absence, the bears are rubbing their backs and seem to be busy smelling themselves. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera with me, so I couldn't take a picture (tears), but today, right after the release, the joiner was playing with a dead tree in his arms. Carry it with your mouth and face it again even on the snow! !! They seemed to be having fun for about an hour. When the bears return to the beast house in the evening, their bodies smell like pine scents. Is it because I rubbed my back against the Ezo pine tree? ?? It smelled good. In early spring, the park is still sprouting, so it is easy to see far away. Please come and meet the healthy bears! (^▽^) / [Breeding: Ito]

There is also this year, the egg of the Ezo red frog. These are the eggs in a puddle near the bear-watching bus stop. There was also a large amount of eggs in Shinnai Pond. The scientific name of the Ezo red frog is Rana Pirica by combining the Latin red frog = Rana and the Ainu language beautiful = pirika. Now here's the problem. What would you ヽ( ̄(エ) ̄)ノ call an Ezo brown bear in the Ainu language? Sorry for the simple question.

This is the state of the cherry blossoms on the banks of the Shinnai Pond, where the experience canoe is held. * Photo taken on April 24, 2009 Depending on the temperature, it may be about 10 days until flowering. When it blooms, please enjoy "cherry blossom viewing bear & canoe". komiya 【Experience canoe】 4/29〜10/25 10:00〜15:00 30 minutes 1,050 yen

This time, we went to Sahoro Country Club (golf course), which is about 7 minutes by car from Bear Mountain ☆ 7 minutes by car, about 30 minutes on our feet. The view from the 10th hole of Runlun ♪ on a long walk for the first time "crossing the national road". Anyway, I want to ♪ run as much as I can in this spacious space ε=ε=ε=(ノ^∇^)ノε=ε=ε=(ノ^∇^)ノ When I returned to Bear Mountain, the bus drivers were painting the faded white lines.

Today, I walked to the Karikatsu Highland Park across the national highway ☆ The shady sidewalk past the sign that says "Literary Walkway" was still snowy. It's been a long time since I've felt ♪ that the plums in the plum orchard hadn't even budded yet. Sarah's face has not been seen in a long time. This is lined with cherry blossom trees. I'll ♪ come back when the cherry blossoms bloom The bus driver was waxing the inside of the bear-watching bus. There is only one week left until the opening. Preparation is also the last spurt! Sarah & Moko

It's finally less than 10 days until the Bear Mountain OPEN (@△@;) The exhibits are taking shape, but there is still more to be done! Recently, I was making something like this. It is a sign "Sighting" to be installed on the promenade. Searching for bears on a 5-metre-high boardwalk can take a few tricks. "That bear is here a lot, so let's check it out as we walk." "This is a place where I often take a nap on a hot day, is there anybody?" "It's hard to see from here because of the thick leaves, but if you move from one place to another, it's easier to see!" And so on... I often observe things like this. "Sightings" are installed in places where it is difficult to notice even if there is a bear, and where tips are needed to see it. Taking a hint from "sightings", we made it with the hope that customers would enjoy a walk while looking for bears. When walking along the promenade, please make use of the "sighting information"! [Breeding: Ito]

In the space on the 2nd floor of the Hotel North Building, an exhibition corner that is unique to the Bearman Branch Office will open! Surrounded by lush forests, the Sahoro area is home to not only the brown bears of Bear Mountain, but also a variety of wildlife. Brown bears, which stand at the top of the ecosystem in Hokkaido, are said to be the umbrella species of the forest, and we aim to create a space that will be of interest not only to brown bears but also to the animals that live in the forests that fall under their umbrella. In addition, early spring plants such as spring ephemerals (Ezoengosaku Katakuri) are quietly blooming in the North Building Square, so we recommend ♪ taking a walk on a sunny day (photo taken on April 29, 2008) Although it is a small exhibition corner, we will gradually enlarge it, so we hope that you will visit us when you stay at the hotel.

Today I went for a walk with a mountain bike for the first time ☆ The snow at the ski resort in the background has melted a lot! It's easier to run on grass than on concrete, so when you go up to the sidewalk, MTB seems to be difficult to run ( ̄ー + ̄) So, let's play a little prank. Signboard scissors attack ( ̄∇+ ̄)v I'm in a hurry (*^▽^*) Do you ♪ want to run exhilarating because you've played through it?

Moko: Wow, what's that? Sarah: At the activity counter, we will be hosting mountain bike rentals, four-wheeled buggies, nature crafts, soba noodle classes, rafting, horseback riding, and canoeing! Moko: Well, after observing the bears, you can enjoy a lot of activities. 　　　I'm not sure what to play with, wow - o(*^▽^*)o~n ♪ Sara & Moko

It's a continuation of yesterday's One ☆ Explore the area around Bear Point! It's a place where the smell of a large number of animals is quite dense... It looks like this from the outside. You can clearly see what's going on inside, so the bears can see the customers clearly ☆ Anyway, Sarah, look inside too much. I wonder if it's something that bothers me??? Take a commemorative photo in front of the cave. I compared it with the photo during business (−p ■) q ☆ Pasha Pasha ☆ Sarah: According to the story, the bears have their backs on the ceiling of the entrance. ゚)ノ Moko: It's really big... Sarah: What's more, this body runs at a speed of about 50 km/h, so even our furious dash may not be able to escape (>_<;) Moko: I have to make sure I don't run into them. Sarah & Moko

Today is a special walk ☆ What, I took ♪ a walk in the park of Bear Mountain Let's go to the course that can be reached at this time of year! Above that is the boardwalk course, and you can look for and observe bears from there. Huh? It's the first smell I've ever smelled before... I'm not sure, but for the time being, I???'m going to put my own scent on the marking. It seems that the staff at work is inspecting the promenade. I don't know all the people, so I wonder if it's a contractor. Then, I can't get stroked, so don't go near it, smell the smell that bothers me, it's a very stimulating walk, and I feel like an explorer dog who is not an explorer at all. Sarah & Moko

I went for a walk today to take a peek at work. What are they making? Red, yellow, green: Is it a traffic light? I was also in the tower that opened and closed the fence when the bus passed. I'm also changing tires. We were doing a lot of work in various places, but when they found us, they all stroked us ♪. This is also our job ☆ (Maybe it's interfering with the work?) Sarah & Moko

Hello, it's been a long time! We are steadily preparing for the opening on April 29th. I've been creating exhibits for the past two weeks. Recently, I tried to make something like this. What is this?? Please don't say that (laughs) This is a replica of the transmitter attached to the bear. The antenna in the park catches the radio waves of the transmitter and the position of the bear is displayed on the monitor! That's how it works. The black part is a tag that emits radio waves, but of course the one I wear around my neck is not real. The real thing is here! The tag part is sturdy so that it does not break even if the bear rubs its back or bathes. A bear with a good physique has a neck circumference of 100 cm! We are doing our best to make it in time for the opening, so I would be happy if you could keep an eye on the exhibits in each place after seeing the bears! [Breeding: Ito]

Today, I went on a work tour. I went for a walk ♪ to the entrance of the promenade to see how everyone was working, and I couldn't find anyone at the entrance (>_<;) Oh? There's a curb in the corner that separates the promenade course from the bus course. This was pulled to the corner to make it easier to remove snow. I see. It's the wisdom of people who live in a snowy country. It was beneficial, it was beneficial. So, by the time it opens, it has returned to the position of this curb and white line. Sarah & Moko
