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.

Good points

- It was fun because Pokemon appeared all over the town. I wanted to see all the panels, so I walked quite a distance for the first time in a while.

- The prize at the end was good. The acrylic charms were especially big and cool. If your favorite Pokemon is among the prizes, you should participate.

- Bad points

- The map is hard to see. I didn&#39;t understand the meaning of the dummy panels at first. I thought that many of the panels were in tricky locations for an event mainly aimed at children.

- It&#39;s difficult to go around without taking a break. It says 1-2 hours, but it&#39;s better to look around for more than 3 hours. (Especially if you go to points that are not related to the rally points) It&#39;s Umeda, so if you miss the timing, it&#39;s hard to find a place to rest, especially on holidays.

The museum inside Osaka Castle offers a good overview of the castle&rsquo;s history with some interesting displays and artifacts. The interior has been modernized with elevators and air conditioning, which makes for a comfortable visit, though it does contrast sharply with the traditional exterior. The view from the top is a highlight.

So many people!!!
It was fun, but the line was so unbearable! They basically told us how long it would take, so we were fully prepared.
The staff were so helpful, and the emotional value was incredible!!!
