The Hokkaidō road number 1049 was called a "bear road", and there are many signboards showing a cute bear. These can be found at gates and at the wayside of the road. It is put forward that the posture expresses the symbiosis of wild animals and human beings.
However since numerous tourists who visit there know the miserable past of the area, they may likely take it as irony or a joke.
