Showa Shinzan is named after the active volcano that erupted in the early years of the Showa era. Originally, the height of the mountain was only 270 meters. Later, due to the continuous activity of the earth's crust, the height of the mountain increased day by day, and now it is 398 meters above sea level. It is still a growing "new mountain" and is classified as a rare rock-tower-type volcano in the world. Geothermal white smoke can still be seen in the reddish-brown mountains. There are about 100 purebred Hokkaido brown bears in the Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch. The ranch area is large, and brown bears are divided into relatively fixed areas according to age groups. There is a food counter at the entrance to each ranch for the brown bears. Visitors can buy apples, biscuits and other foods here, and experience the fun of feeding bears. The brown bear, who has adapted to human beings, knows that people come to feed, and the appearance of coquetry is really cute. Some bears will stand on their hind paws and wave to you with their front paws when they see an apple in your hand, others will give you a bow, and some will simply lie on the ground and do some antics to attract you attention. In addition, if tourists want to get up close and personal with the naive brown bears, they can go to the "human cage" (special observation room) specially set up in the brown bear territory to experience it. There is only a small window between the man and the bear, and you can feel the shock of the brown bear and even feel its breathing.
