Found a pupa next to the biotope at Bear Point! I'm looking forward to seeing what it turns out to be. A recommended place for customers who want to take photos at Bear Point. Bears often stop right when they stand between the rock and the pond, so we recommend waiting there and taking photos. The staff nearby will also press the shutter, so please feel free to ask!

About 10 minutes by car from Bear Mountain. As you take National Route 38 towards Obihiro, you will see soba fields on both sides. The most interesting flowers are currently blooming in that field, and the buckwheat flowers are in full bloom. This coming Sunday (7/27), the ``Shintoku Soba no Sato Festival'' will be held at ``Soba no Yakata'' located in the center of the soba fields. The weather forecast is mostly sunny and cloudy at the moment. If you are wondering where to go, how about a holiday where you can watch brown bears and eat soba?

Yawara (a puddle beside the bus path. Only the hind legs are left in the water) Lion Maru (at Bear Point) The bears don't like the heat. It was raining lightly and it was cool today, but we were able to see people playing in the water. [Keeper: Ito]
Hirotake the other day. I was watching from the top of Bear Point, and although I usually sleep further back, I positioned myself directly above the cave entrance. After smelling the smell around me, I felt relieved and sat down. By the way, what a wonderful back view...It would not be an exaggeration to say that the charm of Hirotake is condensed in this back view! ! (Keeper's perspective) Before it could move, I quickly turned around to the promenade and snapped! It's in perfect condition from the front. More close-ups... After relaxing for about 30 minutes, I went to the pond and played wrestling with Kouji. After I finished playing with Kouji, I tried to ask Rokuta to play with him, but he rejected me (too bad!)
Following the can badge, Bear Mountain's original "fan" has been completed! ! ! ! It can be used as a fan when it's hot, or as a shade when the sun is strong! ? Would you like to commemorate your visit? Sold at Bear Mountain Shop, 210 yen per bottle

We also have presents for the winners, so please feel free to participate. We recommend taking a guided walk tour to Bear Point and participating in a karuta tournament. It's delicious ♪ [Higuma Karuta Tournament] Every day from 7/19 to 8/17 Time: 11:00-13:00-15:00, at Bear Point (first 12 people)
This time it's Kouji's smile. The point is that the hind legs are raised! You can't help but smile when you see her walking smoothly with her inner thighs. However, when running, it can reach speeds of 40 to 50 km/h. Being able to run at such speeds with such size means that he has amazing power. You can smile because you can observe it safely here. If I were to encounter one in the mountains... it would be terrifying just thinking about it.
Bear Mountain's original, long-awaited "Brown Bear Can Badge" has been completed♪ This time, 10 popular brown bears are now available as can badges! ・Canta ・Lionmaru ・Koji ・Kouta ・Joiner ・Misumi ・Kumaemon ・Hirotake ・Rokuta ・Clinton If you find your favorite brown bear, please take him home. Sold at Bear Mountain Shop, 262 yen per piece (limited quantity)
what are you doing? When I pointed my camera at it, Kumaemon was straddling a fallen tree next to the bus path and rubbing his inner thighs against it. Apparently it was itchy. I kept slithering for two or three minutes, trying to find a comfortable place as if to say, ``Oh, this is it, this is it.'' Perhaps feeling refreshed, he glanced back at me and thought, ``What are you looking at?'' Of course, my good friend Misumi is next to me. He sat quietly and waited until Kumaemon calmed down. I am always surprised by the unexpected behavior of bears. Kumaemon is usually arrogant, but this was a heartwarming photo. [Keeper: Ito]
Bear Mountain in the rain. I feel chilly when I'm outside for a long time. At times like this, brown bears move around actively. I was at Bear Point for about an hour, and the brown bears kept coming. When I looked around the park, I saw water droplets collecting on the large and conspicuous leaves of the giant magnolia tree and on the spider webs, which seemed like small objects of nature, so I snapped at them. If light hits these water droplets, they will sparkle and be beautiful.
As for why the title is "Smile", if you look at the photo, I think you will agree with "I see". The photo is Yawara. You won't know if you really felt good until you ask Yawara, but your open mouth looks like a big smile. Yawara has a personality that likes to be alone who doesn't like fights too much. There were no other bears around at this time, and it was after bathing, so maybe he was in a good mood?! Other bears may also look troubled when a snobby partner is nearby, or they may look refreshed and cheerful after bathing. Please pay attention to the bear's facial expressions. 【Zookeeper: Ito】
A 5m high and 370m long promenade course that crosses the park. The floor of the promenade is made of wood called "Ipe". It's a strange name, but it's a hidden bestseller that is used in famous spots such as "Yokohama Great Pier" and "Umihotaru Kobe Harborland"! This tree is found near the Amazon, and it is hard and heavy, and it sinks into water. And it seems to have excellent durability that lasts for about 30 years without painting. I use it at Bear Mountain without painting, but there is no problem at all. How many are used on the 370-meter-long promenade? I would like to count. If you have time, why don't you give it a try? 【Manager of Bear Mountain/Hashimoto】
Lokuta's number 18 "Birch feeder push". Putting your hands on a feeder weighing more than 100 kg and dropping your hips to move it is truly craftsmanship! Today, the joiner challenges the feeder push! I tried to push the feeder, but it didn't move When I realized it didn't (T_T) move, the joiner poked a big head straight over. Will he compete with the popularity of the pusher Rokuta Kumaemon and aim for the top spot as a handstand joiner? Don't ♪ miss [Bear-watching bus driver: Satake] ← will it be a headstand? Joiner ↓ Sahoro no Yokozuna, Lokuta
Today I was observing at Bear Point, but I felt that there were many bears playing in the water, probably because of the high temperature. Suzunosuke and Kouta greet each other by smelling each other. After this, I marked a nearby tree and left the bear point while walking proudly. Another day today, a 19-year-old joiner was working hard to catch fish! Recently, fish have boldly jumped up to the surface in front of the bear, but was the joiner who was watching the situation stimulated?! I tried many times. If you see a bear chasing fish, please support it! 【Zookeeper: Ito】
Misumi is a quick and problem child. "Something happens where Misumi is," so I decided to track her in a jeep. First thing in the morning, we ate our meals and started eating the clover that grows naturally in the garden. Eat and move, eat and move, occasionally look up as if worried about the jeep. I was eating breakfast thoroughly. It was difficult to take a picture of it, so I took a video. It's just a scene where they are just eating, but they don't seem to chew it too much. Come to think of it, feces are also defecated in fibrous form. Going back to the story, Misumi, who has finished her meal, suddenly dashes when she finds a bear walking in front of her! !! They were fighting from behind. It's a pity (>_<) that I couldn't capture it on camera so fast After all, something happened to Misumi tracking.
On the driver's side of Bear Watching Bus No. 3, there was a lot of dead grass between the iron bars and the window, and when I looked closely on Saturday, June 28, I saw wagtails nesting. It is a bowl-shaped bowl that looks like it has been hollowed out in the middle, and there is nothing inside. Are you preparing to have a child? Since it is inside the iron bar, there is no need to worry about being targeted by bears. [Bear-watching bus driver: Kobayashi] Right behind the driver's seat of car 3 ... I found a bowl-shaped nest! !!
Don't you want to touch brown bear hair? Now, please touch your favorite bear... I will never go there, so I collected the hair that remained in the animal house. The collected hair loss is exhibited at Bear Point. On display are the three hairs of Lion Maru, Kanta, and Hirotake. As you can see, the color differs depending on the individual, but the touch is also different. By the way, is brown bear hair hard? Is it soft? When you come, please actually hold it in your hand and check it.
Two wild Ezo deer were eating in the grassland near the bear-watching bus stop. It was past 7 o'clock at night, so it was dim, and although the photo was not clear, the deer seemed to be observing our movements. When I see wild animals living robustly in harsh nature, I am filled with respect, or rather, "It's amazing." I felt that Bear Mountain would also be an opportunity for visitors to become interested in the nature and wildlife of Hokkaido and to think about something. 【Zookeeper: Ito】
On the way to the "end point" at the very end of the promenade course, there are three parts that are made of transparent tempered glass. As mentioned in the previous article, you can see bears playing in the puddles under the promenade from there. This time, it is a photo of the bear looking up. The figure peeking from above, it seems that the bear can see it as well. However, it is said that brown bears do not have very good eyesight, so they have a good nose (sense of smell), which is the feeling they rely on the most. So you may not be able to see your face 5 meters above, but please take a closer look.
(Top left) in a planter in front of the entrance. I was flying around from flower to flower. (Top right) The scene I found in the park. What are the butterflies doing in the puddles? (Bottom left) Hiroki playing in the water in a large stream directly below the pedestrian bridge. You can enjoy nibbling logs and hitting the surface of the water. (Bottom right) Lokuta playing in a puddle. Today was a pleasant sunny day with the temperature rising. The bears also often played in the water. Hiroki's photo was taken from the bus path, so it may be difficult to see because it is far away, but from the pedestrian bridge, you can see the bear playing directly below, so it is a great observation point. But it's interesting to sneak in from a distance, as it feels like you're exploring a bear forest! The zookeeper can predict and observe "Oh, you are playing in the water in the usual place", but "right under the pedestrian bridge" is an unexpected blind spot, and many customers pass by without noticing. The point is to use your five senses (^^) as antennasWhen walking on the pedestrian bridge, please pay attention to the sound of water and snorting of bears. 【Zookeeper: Ito】
When it is sunny, the temperature difference is over 20°C, and when it rains, it is below 15°C. Today, the blue sky spreads out and the weather is pleasant. Sahoro's flowers are also blooming colorfully. The bears are also doing well. Only here can you safely see a brown bear walking on four legs in the forest up close! All the staff <(_ _)> would like to include Bear Mountain in your travel itinerary. 【Flowers blooming on the grounds of Sahoro Resort】 ●English Lavender ●Beconia sempa florence ●Lupine Flower language (example) Lavender / Waiting for you Beconia / Kind, polite, happy days Lupine / Maternal love, always happy etc.

Clinton appeared last time. Rub your back on the glass of Bear Point! The size and power of the stand up made the customers who were watching in front of them take a step back and shout, "Oh!" It's okay to mark the glass like this. This is because after the bears return to the animal house, the zookeeper mops them every day. There is even a bear that marks all the glass when rival bears meet each other. (If you don't rub it with a lot of force, the dirt won't come off.) It's very nice to see the various behaviors of bears, but in our hearts, we thought "Tohoho" (laughs). 【Zookeeper: Ito】
