Jomon Forest Mystery Expedition Vol. 1: Let's Find Insects!

Event Overview

The Jomon Forest Mystery Expedition Vol. 1: "Let's Find Insects!" is an immersive nature learning event held in the pristine Uenohara Jomon Forest. The goal is to teach children about the wonders of life and natural ecosystems by actively searching for insects in their natural habitat. This event provides a precious opportunity for children to engage their five senses and stimulate their intellectual curiosity.

Highlights & How to Enjoy

The main highlight is the hands-on experience of searching for insects in a real-world field setting. Participants can observe the textures and movements of living creatures up close—details that cannot be captured in a book. Through the act of "finding" in the wild, children can develop observation skills and focus. Enjoy a special time connecting with the rhythm of nature and the ecology of local insects.
