Why You Should Visit

A summer-holiday staple gathering rare beetles and stag beetles from around the world. Beyond viewing them behind glass, there are hands-on corners where you can hold the insects — letting children feel the size and grip that no specimen case conveys. Held indoors in the department store, it's a cool escape from the heat or a sudden downpour, and no reservation is needed.
