I was in the "Hima🐟" and I pushed the button and talked to him a lot.

Quote from @tsukarium's post

The author of this post, Tsukasa Ginmagami, says that she pushed a certain button in the museum and "talked a lot". The button that Tsukasa pressed was "the button that brings out the director". As the name says, this button calls the director of the museum, Mr. Yamauchi, when pressed. This is a surprise button. He does not appear when he is not available, but on the day of this post, the meter that comes out was "very busy" and he came out right away in about 30 seconds.

The post received over 100,000 likes with rave comments such as "I'm excited," "I want to go push it," "I really love this button and meter," and "It's exciting.

The button was born from the director's desire to "increase opportunities for interaction with visitors.

The button was installed in the midst of the effects of the new coronavirus, 2020. The button was created out of Mr. Yamauchi's wish to "increase opportunities for interaction with visitors, even if only a little," as it was difficult to communicate with them due to the unavoidable suspension of operations due to the coronary disaster.

A button was installed in the museum that brings the director out. Please feel free to call him up even if you have nothing to do! Let's talk٩٩٩@mTy4V2t7aJ-

The museum also has a "Ask the Keeper" corner where many fans look forward to hearing the answers to their questions! Corner" and "Your Heart's Content Counter," which many fans look forward to hearing the answers to their questions, are just a few of the many tricks that make visitors giggle, and are one of the reasons why the museum has so many fans throughout Japan.

If it was so good, why didn't more people come?

The most attractive point of the aquarium is "the exhibition where you can feel the four seasons.

While there are many such unique measures, that is not the only attraction of the Aquarium of the Northern Lands. According to the owner of the post, Mr. Tsukasa Ginmagami, an aquarium photographer, the most attractive point of the aquarium is that "you can feel the four seasons from the exhibits.

The rivers of Hokkaido change their appearance with the changing seasons, and the "Aquarium of the Four Seasons," a reproduction of a river outside the building, allows visitors to observe fish from inside the aquarium as if they were looking at a cross-section of the river. Furthermore, Rubebesti Town in Kitami City, where the aquarium is located, is one of the coldest regions in Japan. In winter, the surface of the water freezes over, and visitors can see how the fish live robustly under the ice.

When you stop by Kitami City, be sure to visit and see the lively fish. If you press the button, you may be able to talk with the director when he is there...!
