Japan for the 9th time - Oct and Nov 2019 - Page 4 - 234

This is where last time I diverted onto a 4.5 hour hike through the bear infested woods. Last night on BBC Asia they had a story on the high number of bears in Japan, and how they are dealing with them... in Karuizawa! Which is just over this set of hills. They have special dogs that frighten them out of the town back into the mountains... where the hiking trails are!
