On September 22, the Chinese Consulate General in Sapporo issued a letter reminding Chinese citizens to pay attention to the safety of outdoor activities. The reminder points out that the Japanese Meteorological Department has recently raised the volcano eruption alert level of Mt. Tokachidake in Hokkaido's Daisetsuzan system to level 3 “restricted entry”, urging people not to enter the area of the volcano and be wary of safety risks such as falling rocks and toxic gases that may be caused by volcanic eruptions. Meanwhile, there have been many recent reports of brown bear activity in Hokkaido and the three prefectures of Tohoku. Local governments have reminded that brown bears are active in foraging for food in the fall, and that they should be vigilant when entering the mountains and the suburbs, avoid acting alone, and strengthen safety precautions.
