1. Japan Post has temporarily restricted its Yu-Pack courier service in areas where bears have been sighted, due to increasing attacks. This is to protect drivers from potential bear encounters, particularly during evening hours when mopeds are used for deliveries.

2. The restriction has been met with general approval by the public, who prioritize safety over package delivery. People are concerned about not only couriers but also food delivery workers, salespeople, and care workers who need to be extra careful in bear-populated areas.

3. The current bear issue in Japan is likely to persist due to decreasing rural populations and changes in bear habitats caused by warmer autumn temperatures, making it difficult food supply. This suggests a deeper, long-term problem that requires proper attention and solutions.
