While working in the park, I saw a puddle on the side of the road... Ezo frog Pukapuka! If you look closely, there was another one in the gap of fallen leaves at the bottom of the puddle! I can't wait for the spring chorus. Bear Mountain has also come to feel the signs of spring in many places. [Breeding staff: Ito]
Today, work was carried out to anesthetize the bear. Inspections and data are collected, which is important for the health management of bears, but veterinarians and zookeepers must work in a well-organized manner so as not to put a burden on the bears. Body measurements (size measurement), blood sampling, body temperature measurement, weight measurement, mouth check, etc. were performed. When anesthetized, it is also a valuable place where you can directly touch the bear, which you cannot normally touch. How much fat has been lost in the fall due to winter sleep, and are there any wounds or diseases on the body? It is necessary to touch and confirm things that cannot be seen just by looking at them at the time of anesthesia. Or one more thing. In order for customers to feel familiar with the bear's abilities and size, we will also work on the exhibits. I took a foot mold, trimmed a little hair, and took a picture of the work scene. This photo shows the size of the bear's paws and the staff's hands, and the foot mold. I've tried various methods of foot molding through trial and error, but this time I used ink juice to remove the foot mold. It may have been the most beautiful I've ever taken! The toes of bears are actually bigger than their little fingers! (In the photo, both humans and bears have their right hands) Even so, the bear's claws are magnificent...! [Breeding staff: Ito]
In April, the number of warm days has increased. The bears are waking up from their winter sleep, eating food and slowly recovering their physical condition. In the park of Bear Mountain, a stream of snowmelt water flows slowly, and there are also a few butterbur trees here and there. On the other hand, our staff is busy preparing for the opening. One day when I was working, I found a bear's back rubbing mark on the pillar outside Bear Point! At Bear Mountain, which has a vast site, a tag is attached to the neck to detect the position of the bear by radio waves, but apparently a small wound was made when he stood up and rubbed his back against the pillar. It's much bigger than the height of the male staff, and I'm surprised again by the size of the bear! There are many traces of markings and claw marks on trees and pillars in the park. I hope you will take a closer look and find out! [Breeding staff: Ito]
This is the third year of Bear Mountain. In order to further convey the charm of brown bears, we have renewed our website. From how to enjoy Bear Mountain, it is easier to see letters from the staff! Make it easier to understand! We would like to make it a site that cares about Bear Mountain with the motto. Do you see that there are 5 photos lined up under Flash on the top page? This is an arrangement of the last five photos from the Bear Mountain News. Is this an update to the Bear Mountain news? Isn't it? is self-explanatory. In this way, we have clarified the Bear Mountain news, which has been delayed in updating even if we are busy, and we are eager to update it while feeling the pressure of the staff. We would be happy if you could use it for checking before your visit and after your visit. There are only 20 days left until the opening of the season. We look forward to <(_ _)> seeing you as well as the brown bears
Brown animals are the largest land animals living in Japan and are wild animals that live only in Hokkaido. I would like you to see and experience the brown man who stands at the top of hokkaido's ecosystem as close to the wild as possible in the rich natural environment of Hokkaido. Sahoro Resort (Bear Mountain) was born from such a thought. You can safely see up close how you live in a forest that you would not normally see, completely different from a zoo or a traditional bear farm. It can be said that it is a facility realized only because it is a Sahoro resort where wild brown animals live in the backyard.
The daisetsuzan and The Nakayama system, including Mt. Sahoro, are also inhabited areas of yezo browns, but the number is decreasing, and individuals in the Western Ishikari Area (Shakotan and Eniwa areas) are listed in the Red Data Book of the Hokkaido version, and populations in the Tenshol and Masuge regions are described as "area populations (LP) that are likely to become extinct". It is also mentioned in the Washington Convention (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) and is recognized as an internationally valuable species. Let's think together so that the ezo brown man does not become extinct in the wild.
Don't go into the mountains by yourself Make a sound to let your presence known (such as Bell Whistle Radio) Never take home garbage (a bear that learns the taste of human food will end up being a bad bear approaching a person)
He has a cheerful personality that doesn't care about details. In recent years, it seems to be pushed by a little young power, but the presence is outstanding. The top of the head is bald because it turnes up and it rubs back. Features: Solid physique, weight also heavyweight!
Bear Mountain 1 handsome bear. Do you tend to be handsome? Self-centered personality. It was a proof that the fight was strong and there was no wound on the face, but the medal remained on the tip of the nose. Feature: Golden chin hair
He is a big brother who arbitrally fights and becomes a wrestling opponent of a young bear. I'll also care about Hirotake, the son of Kouta, the twin brother. There is dignity to take a break in the rock of Ikebuchi in front of bear point, and it will fall in love. Feature: Crisp and tight features compared to twin kouta. have a white pattern (vitiligo) on the shoulder
Hirotake, his son, is a strict father for some reason. Surprise the breeding staff with the dexterity to carry the grainy snacks on the ground with sharp claws sandwiched between chopsticks and into the mouth. Koji and twins. Feature: Round face compared to twin koji. have a white pattern (vitiligo) on the shoulder
Free parking for 600 cars is at the entrance to Bear Mountain. Ticket office Purchase tickets here How about souvenirs such as original goods, bear infested attention, etc. Parking free Other toilets, nursing rooms
He is good at catching fish enough to catch nijimas in the pond in front of BearPoint. Because power has been put on, it is a type that catches a little by surprise from behind, and thrusts the neck into the fight on purpose. BearPoint is my favorite place, but when an unsased Santa enters the pond, he quickly escapes. Son of Kouta. Features: Black hair, vitiligo at the neck. Have round ears and are large
Board a private bus protected by iron bars and head to the brown bears' forest. Observe brown bears moving around in the forest from a bear watching bus that will stimulate your sense of adventure. If you want to get closer to brown bears, please take a ride! Seeing the world from the same perspective as the brown bears is very realistic!

After that, it takes about 200m for about 5 minutes to exit the park and head to the bus stop. Don't bears like the 200m from Bear Point? There are few chances to encounter it. If you follow the promenade course from Bear Point to the exit, you can fully enjoy Bear Mountain. Of course, you can also leave the park by bus and re-enter via the promenade course! Please inform the bus driver of this.
As if traversing the vast grounds, a high-level promenade course (footbridge) is built, and you can observe the adorable brown man living leisurely. In addition to brown animals, you can enjoy the beautiful nature of Sahoro, such as the majestic scenery of the Daisetsuzan system towering in the distance, the chirping of small birds, the wind blowing through, and the feeling of walking while bathed in negative ions. Promenade course 370m in length, height of about 5m, slope gradient 7% From the ticket office to bear point 15-20 minutes on foot
A glass observation facility located in the center of the site. In addition to allowing browns to act in close natural conditions, ponds and caves are set up around them to create an environment that blends with the Sahoro Forest. There is also a production where you can observe the brown man approaching in front of you. (You can approach from either the promenade course or the bear watching bus course) Pond: You can see playing with logs, chasing nijimas, and innocently enjoying playing in the water Caves: The sly cave is a resting spot for brown bears. In the hot summer, some bears are waiting in line! Room: We have materials such as baby brown cat models, full-scale winter nests, and data and videos of winter gouging. Other: Toilet

When I was little, I named it Inuo because it looked like a dog. He was the same year as Singo and was a bear elder in Bear Mountain. A lightly modest character. When a strong bear comes near, it erases the sign before one is deach other and it moves with Star. They often sleep in the shade of trees near the animal house. Features: Slender body shape with black hair and smooth legs
Get off at Jr Ishi katsu line Shin-Goto Station and take a taxi from Shin-Goto Station to Bear Mountain for about 15 minutes
He is the same year as Inuo and is an elder bear of Bear Mountain. He has an optimistic personality and is a farce. But you're not to be outsed by the young ones! I'm trying to rub as much as I say active duty. Feature: Golden face. The body is light brown with curly curly hair. They have no ears

Al though he is not very noticeable, there is also a side that hates losing the fights that are sold. But an inconspicuous bear that likes to cool off in a quieter place than a fight. Feature: No ears. When I open my mouth, I look like I'm laughing.
Perhaps because of the shape of the ears, the impression was pointy with black hair. He has a naïve personality and doesn't like fighting. Occasionally, it shows a side which is ganko. The appetite for autumn is so good! Feature: Pinned triangular ears. Sharp body shape
Protected bears in the wild. I entered adolescence and teamed up with my twin, Hinata, and I was not liked by other bears because of my personality. Recently, it seems that a mean character appears to appear on his face. Feature: Vitiligo in the chest is clearer than Hirotake Koji Kouta
