Actress and film director Leona Hirota (62) updated her Instagram by the 10th. She revealed that a bear had appeared at her home in Tochigi Prefecture, where she has moved. Photo: A post that seems to be a bear’s path Hirota reported her recent condition in her first post in a while, saying, “I moved in Nasu, but I wanted to be healed in a forest-like place rather than near a train station… I confirmed with the real estate lady many times that there would never be a bear… I repeatedly checked with the real estate lady to make sure there would be no bears, but the management office told me not to leave the house at night because there had been one last year. One night late at night, her dog started barking violently, and her husband was not home, so she was anxious and shone a flashlight out the window. In the morning, the flower beds in the garden were heavily crushed… I thought it might have been a bear, so I had a friend from a hunting club in Nasu Shiobara come over… I knew it was a bear… He said it must have been about 80 cm long… He also found a path for the bear, which probably came from a nearby stream. The bear was also found by a friend of mine… It was still a bear… It was about 80 centimeters long… He found a path that would have come from a nearby stream. He expressed his mixed feelings, saying, “I’m not even on the sighting map, so I guess that’s the extent of it…”
