More and more wild bears have been spotted in Japan in recent years, even in residential areas, due to factors including a declining human population and climate change.
The tourist “was injured with a scratch on his right arm, then he walked to a tourist information office nearby and requested an ambulance,“ Takashima said, adding that the man was treated in hospital and discharged the same day.
Following the incident, the village closed trails in the area, while officials and police are patrolling the neighbourhood.
The incident comes after police and local media reported that a woman in northern Japan died and another was missing after being attacked by a bear last week.
According to NHK, 69 people nationwide suffered injuries caused by bears, with five of these resulting in death, between April and August this year.
In the previous year, there were 219 attacks and six deaths. – AFP
