Hi Reader, If you're planning a trip to Hokkaido soon, maybe you have this question. And I get the same question every year as summer gets closer... "Is Hokkaido safe from brown bears?"

Yes, incidents happen. But most of 5 million people living in Hokkaido go about their daily lives without ever...
