Shells fascinate people with their beautiful shells. There are tens of thousands of known species on Earth, making them extremely diverse creatures. The Japanese archipelago is particularly affected by both warm and cold currents, and has many islands, making it one of the areas with the largest number of shellfish species in the world. Perhaps because of this background, many people in Japan have been fascinated by shellfish since ancient times, and have tried to study them academically.
This special exhibition brings together everything from herbal books to early illustrated books, actual specimens that have led to historic discoveries, and the latest research techniques, unraveling the history of shellfish research from the Edo period to the present day in Japan and its results. Come and experience what it means for researchers to be "addicted" to shellfish in this special exhibition.

Very good museum, exquisite, the outside looks small, the inside is quite big, the animal bones look very shocking, the door is hanging should be the skeleton of the blue whale, adults visit is also very interesting.

For Chinese people, it is a very convenient choice to go to USJ. After comparing Klook and Meituan, I feel that the prices are basically the same. I guess the platform is just an intermediary. It is very smooth to enter the park. Just scan the QR code on the ticket. USJ is still very fun. If you want to go, you can buy it on Ctrip!

春天里的柳絮

February plum blossoms March cherry blossoms are the two major points of view in Osaka Castle Park. When the plum blossoms are in full bloom, the plum aromas of the garden enter the heart and spleen, which is refreshing. There are many varieties of plum blossoms and they are old. The old piles of plum trees are different in shape.

When you come to Osaka, you must come to Shinsaibashi. There are too many restaurants in the nearby shops. If the time is not long, Shinsaibashi must come to high-end or affordable or beauty stores or restaurants or playgrounds or snacks. No matter the old, Chinese and young luxury shopping shop designs.
