The exhibition showcasing the reality of sea creatures while debunking common misconceptions about their habits and appearances, and connecting it to "NARUHODO!" (meaning "I see!" in Japanese), is being held in collaboration with the popular picture book "OHIGE no PON" by Makoto Kanazawa. The character appears as SHINAGAWA AQUARIUM's new keeper in various locations throughout the aquarium, such as explanatory panels installed at each tank and original photogenic spots. Visitors will learn facts they would be excited to share as they walk through the aquarium with OHIGE no PON, who will help visitors navigate their questions.

Various events will be held during the exhibition to allow visitors to discover the "fun" and "wonder" of sea creatures while exploring the world of OHIGE no PON, stimulating their curiosity. SHINAGAWA AQUARIUM welcomes everybody to visit the exhibit for a summer full of learning and discovery about sea creatures.
