On May 13 (Sun), a "Waterside creature observation party" was held at Hamarikyu Onshi Garden. (Sponsored by Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association Cooperation: NPO Waterside and Biological Environmental Conservation Promotion Organization)
10:00～12:00
The Edo garden is the only existing in Tokyo that draws in seawater and changes the taste of the pond due to the ebb and flow of the tide. Seawater fish such as goby live, and Benkeigaji and crucian carpet crawl around the rocks on the shore.

In the first half, we observed creatures around the park, centering on the Shioiri Pond, Suimon, and Koshindo Kamoba. In the second half, at the Hanakien Rest Area, listen to lectures on aquatic organisms such as bi apples, ubina squirrels, and ecosystems such as alien species, collected by staff. It was an observation session that reaffirmed the history and characteristics of our garden through ecosystems and water environments.
