What is the specialty of Hokkaido, Japan?

The "Beware of Bears" design with a yellow bear face is a specialty of Hokkaido. Originally, this meaning came from Hokkaido. Because there are many wild bears there, everyone reminds each other to be careful, and it was extended by merchants into this slogan. Now, There are also similar stickers in China. Now this "Beware of Bears" tire sticker is wild and charming. It is very consistent with the off-road characteristics of 4WD-SUV.

Currently retail is only available at SUZYSPORT stores in Hokkaido, Japan, but if 4WD-SUV owners go through the SUZYSPORT Parts Guide website, they can get this sticker anywhere in Japan. The shipment will be quickly delivered to the customer within 3 days after payment.

I occasionally saw the words "Beware of Bears" spray-painted on off-road vehicles in Shanghai. I didn't know this until I arrived in Hokkaido.

From New Chitose Airport to Sapporo city, crows can be seen from time to time in the snow, on rooftops, and on telephone poles. The tour guide said that the crows in Hokkaido are as big as roast ducks and they eat well!

In addition to crows, there are many animals in Hokkaido that are not afraid of people. In the woods next to the road, we have seen large herds of deer. The tour guide also said that when skiing in the snow resort, there are often squirrels and foxes watching from the sidelines. Not only are they not afraid of people approaching, they will also beg for food. But be sure not to touch foxes, as foxes in Hokkaido carry germs.

There are two iconic animals in Hokkaido, one is the owl, and the other is the bear. You can always see these two in shops at tourist spots and resorts. In the past, there were probably enough bears in Hokkaido that people posted warning signs saying "Beware of Bears" in places where bears frequented. Now, this warning slogan has become a trademark, with black characters on a yellow background, and is used on T-shirts, wine glasses and many other products, becoming a characteristic of Hokkaido.

In Hokkaido, it is impossible to see bears casually. The bear is not stupid. He knows that unlike the crow, those people are not kind. They either covet his fat paws or want to take advantage of his fur coat. But if I really want to get up close and personal with bears, I have to go to Noboribetsu, the hot spring town in Hokkaido, where there is a unique "Brown Bear Ranch".

The "Brown Bear Ranch" is at the top of Sifangling. To see bears, you have to take the cable car up the mountain. This bear ranch is the birthplace of Hokkaido tourism giant Gassen Tourism Group. At first, they adopted a few orphaned bears. Over the past few decades, they have multiplied into a herd and now have more than 200 bears. These brown bears are kept in pens, with more than 30 in one pen. As soon as a person approaches the fence of the ranch, he will immediately feel the momentum of the bears. The brown bears are all as tall as NBA centers, as tall and strong as a hill, and their occasional low roars are disturbing.

In fact, these brown bears are very docile and lovable. Hearing the sound of people, the bears took up positions under the fence one after another, because they knew that the people who came to see them would bring food with them. The feeding is bags of pigeon egg-sized dry food provided by the ranch. Throw them one by one, and the bear opens his mouth to follow them, very skillfully, as if he is juggling. Those who didn't get it later would raise their front paws to signal to tourists, or even put their palms together in a salute. Some bears were even more amusing, pointing with their palms with their mouths wide open, meaning that they really didn't get it.
