Kuma Kuma Park - Kitaakita

Visit Kuma Kuma Park during a trip to Akita's secret hot springs in October 2021 I have been interested in the ecology of bears for a long time, and it seems that the memories of being impressed by seeing a real brown bear for the first time at Bear Mountain in Hokkaido, which I visited before, are revived. The place is quite mountainous It is not realistic to move on foot because the nearest station is far away. I think it's better to take a taxi. You can easily access it by car or rental car. Enter the park with the first ride at the opening time of 9:00 There were no other visitors and I was worried about the management, but I was relieved because the group customers came with me afterwards. When I heard Akita, I wasn't struck by the news that an accident had occurred at another bear ranch and I was forced to close the park, but these bears seem to have good coat and eat food. Only black bears and brown bears are bred and can be fed. Food is 200 yen for small size and 1,000 yen for large size. When you release food into a mass of bears, the bloody male bears quarrel while groaning! !! A staff member immediately discharges water with a hose Then, the bears that were so rough will move away. There is also a bear relaxing on the top of a figurine that imitates a tree, and I am impressed that it is true that he is good at climbing trees. The brown bear garden is a separate building, and there is a dangerous atmosphere that there are beasts. Unfortunately, I could only meet one of them on the day, but the open mouth did not close for a while to the size that I could see even if I was far away. The height of the panel of the two standing brown bears installed outdoors exceeds 2.3 m, which exceeds the height of a human being. With this height, there is no doubt that you can make an outstanding performance in the NBA. I had a valuable experience such as feeding, but I think it's only a smartphone when shooting with a camera. It would be difficult to shoot bears in large size without a camera equipped with a telephoto lens capable of optical zoom. Akita is far away, but I would like to re-enclose it as the snow melts in winter.
