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