Japanese confectioner Keiji Minatoya survived a brutal bear attack that left him with severe injuries, including deep facial gashes and bite marks. The 68-year-old, who was mauled when he opened his garage in Akita prefecture, is calling for revenge against the bear that almost took his life. Japan has seen a surge in bear attacks this year, with more than 100 incidents and 13 deaths, largely in depopulated regions like Akita and Iwate, where abandoned homes and overgrown gardens provide cover for wildlife. Minatoya’s story highlights the growing danger posed by wild animals in rural Japan. #japan #bear #apt
