I went to see a rare museum that specializes in shellfish. When I visited, there was an exhibition of photos of marine life taken by local residents, and I was able to enjoy seeing fish and shrimp.

Photos There are shells of all sizes on display, including a large ammonite fossil, shells collected from nearby waters, and shells from overseas.

Life-sized Unicorn Gundam Statue

  • Post Date：
In November 2024, I went to see the Unicorn Gundam in Odaiba, Tokyo. This is the second Gundam to be exhibited at Odaiba. The first was the RX-78-2 Gundam, which I had come to see at the time.

Unfortunately, this area is adjacent to Kyoto’s downtown area, and there were drunk people sleeping on the street and trash scattered everywhere, so I felt a little disappointed as I walked there.
