Kumakuma Garden is Tohoku's only zoo dedicated to both Asiatic black bears and brown bears, housing approximately 60 bears in total. Visitors can enjoy feeding the adorable, begging Asiatic black bears and observe the brown bears playing in the water from behind glass. The best time to visit is in late April when the baby bear cubs are born and are at their most endearing. Located in Kitaakita, Akita Prefecture, it's a unique opportunity to see these magnificent creatures up close. Note that there are no eating/drinking spaces available.
