Why You Should Visit
A one-day bazaar for natural history and museum fans, held at Kobe Municipal Forest Botanical Garden on August 16, 2026. Insect specimens, old field guides, collecting tools, genuine natural history prints from around a century ago, goods from a natural history museum, and clay figures shaped like succulents all line the tables. A fun stop for specimen and natural-science enthusiasts, or families hunting for summer-project ideas.
