The University of Tokyo's Misaki Marine Biological Station, Japan's world-class Institute for Marine Life, is cooperating in the planning of this event!

The University of Tokyo's Misaki Marine Biological Station was established as one of Japan's first and one of the world's oldest waterfront experimental stations. The Misaki Coastal Research Station is located on the Miura Peninsula in Kanagawa Prefecture, and focuses on the rich marine life of Tokyo Bay and Sagami Bay, elucidating how organisms are formed and studying their evolutionary pathways.
In this event, the facility will instruct and supervise visitors on how to safely observe marine creatures and open its aquarium breeding room, which is normally inaccessible, to the public, bringing the diversity of familiar marine creatures and their fascination to children.
