Road closure due to continued bear sightings.

It has been discovered that the promenade of Kakumanbuchi, a popular marshland in the prefectural Akagi Park that is also a summer resort spot, has been closed to traffic except for a small area.

According to the prefecture, no personal injuries have been reported, but the restrictions were imposed to ensure safety.
The date for lifting the restrictions has not yet been decided. Mount Akagi is home to Asiatic black bears, and in June, 217 sightings were reported within human habitation areas, roughly double the average year.
The prefecture is calling for caution when visiting, as there is a high possibility of bears appearing in the future.
