We saw Bears!
But no! This was not at a campsite -although there was certainly a possibility that it could have been.
This was at Bear Mountain (SE of Furano), a facility with captive bears at a density of about 1bear per hectare. They take you in a fortified bus, through double gates with land cruisers following to make sure no bear has sneaked in between the gates behind the bus.
The busses had iron bars along the windows.
The land cruisers had iron bars on the windows. 
We certainly did get a very close up view of a number of very large male brown bears!
Another highly recommended place. In fact if you are planning to camp wild then I suggest that Bear Mountsin might be a place worth seeing early in your trip- before you take the bears too lightly.
