Experience the activity "Gasa Gasa Introduction with Living Creature Doctor" at Mobility Resort Motegi!
At Mobility Resort Motegi, an activity called "Gasa Gasa Introduction with Living Creature Doctor" was held during the Golden Week period.
In this article, we will introduce the details of the activity that was held.
"Gasa Gasa Introduction with Living Creature Doctor" What kind of activity is it?
At Mobility Resort Motegi, there is a forest called "Hello Woods" where you can fully experience nature away from the city center.
In this forest, there is a rice field called "Hatcho Dragonfly's Tanada". Various living creatures that are rarely seen in the city live here, and in the spring, there are many tadpoles swimming around, as well as the larvae of red dragonflies called "Akiakane", Tokyo Daruma frogs, and tree frogs.
"Introduction to Gasa Gasa with the Living Creature Doctor" is an activity where you can use a net to catch and observe the many living creatures that live in the rice field.
A place where you can fully feel nature
By observing and directly touching unfamiliar animals, you can use your five senses to experience various things more than just researching on the internet.
In addition, this activity is accompanied by animal experts who are knowledgeable about various animals. They will explain not only the ecology of the animals, but also the details such as how they were born, why they live in this forest, and where they are most abundant.
"Gasa Gasa Introduction with Living Creature Doctor" Experience!
So, I experienced what the "Gasa Gasa Introduction with Living Creature Doctor" program is actually like!
On the day, we gathered at the local rice terrace of the forest of Hello Woods at the starting time!
As soon as we arrived at the rice field, we grabbed our nets and searched for living creatures in the rice field with the living creature doctor. On this day, there were frogs croaking everywhere, and the participating children were captivated by catching them!
Also, it's not often that we get to see rice fields in the city, so the children were excitedly putting their nets in the rice field and finding various living creatures.
There were lots of tadpoles in the rice field. In addition, there are other creatures such as dragonfly larvae and water striders living in the rice field. The doctor will teach you various things about these living creatures. For example, tadpoles. Actually, the types of tadpoles vary depending on the season, and in this rice terrace in Hello Woods, there are 5 types of spawning that occur in order.
In this way, you can learn a lot by asking the doctor questions about the ecology, types, and how they live.
Catching frogs is quite difficult, but the doctor taught us some tips and even caught some with us.
Let's observe living creatures
Let's observe the animal doctor and the frog! "What about the hands and feet?" "Where are the eyes?" "What about the mouth?" Children who participated used all five senses to observe the animals.
Enjoy nature experiences with peace of mind and safety
Finally, we return the living creatures to the rice fields. The captured frogs are also released back into their original rice fields and swim smoothly. The activity time is only 1 hour, and it's great that you can freely decide your movements before and after the activity with local gathering and local dissolution!
Even for those who have a resistance to insects, children can see, touch, and feel nature, and absorb the goodness of nature. There are also many things that you can't understand until you actually touch them. Hello Woods is a forest that is carefully managed by human hands, so you can enjoy a safe and secure nature experience.
This time, we delivered a report on the experience of "Gasa Gasa Introduction with Living Creature Doctor".
Usually, there are few opportunities to interact with nature and living creatures, so I felt it was a valuable experience.
At Mobility Resort Motegi, there are many activity programs available for experiencing nature in the future.
Why not enjoy the nature that you can't usually experience to the fullest at Mobility Resort Motegi?
