Showa-shinzan Bear Ranch
A ranch where you can feed brown bears that beckon with their paws
At this ranch at the foot of Showa-shinzan, you can enjoy feeding experiences with brown bears grouped by age.
Throughout the spacious grounds, you can observe brown bears grouped by age as they relax lying down or play and frolic with each other. The sight of large brown bears with brown fur wrestling and bumping bodies like sumo wrestlers is impressively powerful. When you hold cookies or apples, the bears spot the food, stand up, and spread their arms wide as if beckoning you to come closer, creating a charming scene that brings smiles. When you throw food, you can see the individuality of each bear, from those that skillfully catch it to those that slowly pick up food that has fallen to the ground.
In May, cubs born that year make their debut at the bear kindergarten. The sight of them toddling around with small bodies and acting spoiled with their mothers warms the hearts of visitors. When they gaze at you with their round black eyes, you feel a strange sense of familiarity despite them being wild animals. Through interactions with the brown bears, this is a place where you can experience up close the charm of Hokkaido's representative animals.
