Overview
Haunting reconstruction of Japan's most famous bear attack.
Deep in the mountains of Tomamae, this site commemorates the 1915 Sankebetsu brown bear incident. A reconstructed pioneer hut and a massive, life-sized bear statue recreate the scene of the tragedy. It serves as a somber reminder of the harsh realities faced by Hokkaido's early settlers and their relationship with the island's apex predator.
