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.

A very good museum, exquisite, looks small from the outside, but is quite large inside. The animal skeletons look very shocking. Hanging at the door is the skeleton of a blue whale. It is also very interesting for adults to visit.

Universal Studios is the source of happiness. Although it rained on the day I went, the staff was very serious and responsible, giving you emotional value. The park is bigger than Singapore, with a lot of equipment. It is worth experiencing one by one. The single channel is very convenient.

While the castle itself may seem overrated, the surrounding and the park is absolutely a treat. I would definitely recommend to take the inter park train, walk around the castle and check out their merch shop.
