Mountain & Safety There have been no bear-related injuries in Shikoku. - As of 2025, safe mountain climbing with zero injuries -
While bear-related injuries are on the rise in Honshu, there have been no reports of bear encounters or injuries at Mount Tsurugi in Shikoku as of 2025. Based on my experience hiking on October 16th and 17th, I would like to share the appeal of safe mountain travel.
