[Tokyo/Chofu] Family-friendly Exploration to find frogs, turtles, fish, insects, birds, etc

Key Information

Description

We will be holding a river creature exploration for parents and children, so we look forward to your participation. On the day, please gather at the meeting place, rent waders (30 sets in stock, free of charge, from 15cm to 28cm), put on gloves, turn over stones, and catch fish and crayfish. Please bring a marine scrub, as it is required from spring, the end of March to autumn and the end of October. During the cold water period from winter to spring, they do not move, so you can catch them with your bare hands. The main targets for capture are turtles, frogs, catfish, mitten crabs, striped shrimp, Yamato swamp shrimp, American crayfish, Ukigoi, Chichibu, loach, Moroko, Motsugo, Japanese river snail, Taiwanese clam, dragonfly nymph, and river insects. Many creatures live behind the stones and many hide underneath, so turn over a lot of stones to see them. It is easier to catch them in the winter observation session. We look forward to your participation and application. If you want to take some fish home, please bring a plastic case and a bubbler (battery-operated, only the fish need oxygen). There are many paid parking lots at the meeting point. They are located in and around the market. We will meet 10 minutes before the meeting point on the day and move there. If you are late due to traffic congestion, you will not be able to participate. In that case, we can arrange an afternoon session or reschedule, so please contact us. Thank you very much. Depending on the circumstances, the instructor may be Tosshi, Ryo, or Sora. What to bring: Marine shoes, change of clothes, swimsuit, spats, rash guard, drink, rucksack, plastic case for taking fish home, bubbler What to prepare on our side: Stupid boots (from November to mid-March), net, storage bucket We look forward to your participation.
