Japan's Environment Ministry said 13 people were killed in more than 230 bear attacks in 2025, exceeding the number of fatalities and attacks in any preceding year. A bear injured four people in a residential area of Japan on Tuesday in the latest case of an attack by the animals in an area of the country where bears have increasingly encroached on the human population in recent years.
Police and fire department officials rushed to the scene in the Sasakino district of Fukushima in northeastern Japan after receiving an emergency call from the Fukushima Steel Works reporting bear attacks on two employees.
Security camera footage shows a black bear appearing and chasing an employee near the entrance. As the man in his 20s tries to flee, the bear throws him to the ground. On the video the bear then moves into the factory compound and injures a second male employee in his 60s. The bear later injured a third person, a male employee in his 60s at separate company. A woman in her 80s who lives in the neighbourhood also was attacked and injured, the Fukushima City Fire Department said.

Quick!
Send in the women who prefer bears!
I’m sure they can handle them!
I guess the Japanese Game & Fish people need to issue more bear tags. Maybe even lengthen the season a few days.
Their idea of easing up on the restrictions is to make it difficult for cities to sue a hunter if the hunter did not contact the authorities and get permission to shoot a bear a few seconds or minute before he actually shoots.
They are, however moving in the correct direction, just very slowly and cautiously.
Bey-yas.
You mean they were "nipped"?
Japans northern prefectures are eat up with their version of our brownies or grizz
And they apparently love how the Japanese taste
They have exponentially more attacks than we do
That’s true and housing is dirt cheap even near ski slopes
My son was just there
He and his buddies are considering buying for that reason
Plus the Japanese are very open to Americans per him
It’s probably a Koala!
I’m surprised that with remote work, that people wouldn’t choose to live in a cheaper area than in Tokyo.
Choot it Lizbeth, Choot it
weird... looked like it was playin-
It’s tough to do the worked to death salaryman thing working remotely.
The Japanese need to brush up on their karate skills.
The bear was getting the best of him, chasing him around. It needed a little Yackety Sax as background music.
