There are still a few spots available for the special workshop
"What-Is-This? Creature Exhibition – Let’s Discover the Wonders of Everyday Creatures,"
currently being held at the Shibuya City Children’s Science Center (HachiLab)!
There are plenty of creatures in our neighborhoods that make you wonder, “What on earth is that!?”
Whether they have strange shapes, mysterious patterns,
or move in interesting ways, let’s go out with professional naturalist Captain Hiroshi Sasaki to search for these “What-Is-This Creatures”
and unravel their mysteries.
