โ๏ธ Bear Ranch in Noboribetsu ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐
๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐ Japan is home to several bear ranches, and Noboribetsu's is the first one. ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐ It houses the Hokkaido brown bears, and you can take a cable car up the mountain to visit. ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐ On the day of my visit, it was snowing lightly on the mountain, making it extremely cold in the open air... ๐ โ๏ธ ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐ Actually, the Ainu area within the ranch piqued my interest even more. ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐ It recreates the living environment and daily items of the Ainu people, ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐ making me once again appreciate the meticulousness of "Gold Kamuy". ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐ There's also a viewing platform that overlooks Lake Kuttara. ๐ ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐ #NoboribetsuBearRanch #AinuCulture ๐ธ๐บ๐ฟ๐
