JapanFour climbers were rescued by helicopter in Hokkaido, Japan, after encountering a brown bear on a mountain trail. The incident occurred on Saturday when a man in his 60s spotted the bear while descending a 2,141-meter peak. Three other climbers joined him, and they called for help after realizing they could not proceed further. No one was injured in the encounter. This event follows the reopening of Mount Rausu, part of the Shiretoko Peninsula World Natural Heritage Site, which had been closed since August 2023 after a fatal bear attack. Authorities have implemented measures such as bear alert systems to manage the growing number of bear-related incidents. Separately, an 83-year-old man in Akita Prefecture was attacked by a bear while gathering mountain vegetables, sustaining facial injuries.
