The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has announced it will lift its ban on hunting Asian black bears, first imposed in 2008, due to an increase in bear sightings and human-bear conflicts. Starting April 2023, professionally licensed hunters will capture and kill around 34 bears annually in designated areas to manage the growing wild bear population in the western Tama region.
